Sounds Like
People say Morcheecha, Dido with a LA Feel, R & B, Cafe Del Mar, Santana and even Anastacia... what do you think?.............
Pics below are from Too Late to Pray video ..........check it out!
Ambient female vocals plus the return of big lush guitar in trippy atmosphere make for wild mix, fire on water!
"Summons a precarious edge between joy and tears; where fire and water command the passions and where falling becomes a funky ‘letting go’....."
"Distinct and delicious tones, explore a contemporary mindset and a range of moods that arise from within it"
"The ambient ease of intelligent hooks and compelling grooves"
"Portrays lucid experience and tender genius"
JOYAAA is mainly the music is an intense dance between Gavin and Victoria. Long obsessive hours (weeks... even years) they work playing, programming, panning and producing wicked tunes to chill to. We love it really!

If you have walked in the heart of the Greenwood and have bathed in the light of its living force remember what you have felt; and whenever you pass a tree whether it stands alone in a wilderness of human making or in the depth of woodland, give a moment of your time to listen to its voice. For in many parts of the land the trees are dying only the hearts that know something of the true wisdom can save them. (Anon)
Time to welcome in the Summer, health and happiness.
Si usted ha paseado por el centro del bosque verde y se ha bañado en la luz de su fuerza viva recuerde lo que usted ha sentido; y siempre que usted pase al lado de un árbol si está parado solamente en un yermo de fabricación humana o en la profundidad del bosque, dé un momento de su tiempo para escuchar su voz. Porque en muchas partes de la tierra los árboles se están muriendo solamente los corazones que tengan algo de la sabiduría verdadera pueden salvarlos. (Anón)
Here is my quote of the week. I hope you enjoy it!
