“That Real world education- the one the Swedish-born performer received in Jazz clubs as a solo artist, or in acts such as Yomozo and ‘Sillan & Young’- can be heard in the smooth sexy jazz and R&B of Good Life. The songs show off a confident performer very much able to compete on an international level.”
