Moments Worth Listening For
The breathtaking opening of Malaika where her solo voice is suddenly enveloped by a warm wave of orchestral strings.
The rhythmic interplay on Kelele where traditional African percussion dances gracefully alongside staccato symphonic brass.
The delicate, jazz-inflected woodwinds on Naima that perfectly cradle her soaring, emotional vocal tribute.
