September 2007 she spent over a year recording her 10,000 km journey across S.America, performing / writing /filming / photographing / sketching and painting her way en-route from Northern Brazil across the Andes into Northern Chile. Travelling down the coast of Chile, across the Mapuchji Indian territory of southern Chile, over the southern Andes into Argentina, passing through Paraguay and once more arriving in Southern Brazil. Now having experienced working with so many South American musicians CB is determined to infuse her solo album with this new found rhythmic freedom & inspiration.

“Elysian”, “Da Riva”, “Can’t Love”, “Complicated Art”, “Times They Are A’Changin”, and … “All or Nothing”.
Feel it for yourself, she has a profoundly emotive and genuinely soulful lyrical & melodic flow – her creativity is all about a unique stream of consciousness and ultimately great songs being moulded into rhythms and grooves, to be appreciated by all those that hear a melody and want to ride it forever …..

"...be patient toward all that is unsolved in your heart and try to love the questions themselves like locked rooms and like books are written in a very foreign tongue. Do not now seek the answers, which cannot be given to you because you would not be able to live them. And the point is, to live everything. Live the questions now." let the sun bring a lovely smile to your face... ;o)
