Cool Grooves
This album delivers a powerful, ambient vibe with an over-arching chill-out feel that makes for a distinctive and relaxed listen. Each track follows an individual narrative, taking us on a journey from summer pool sides and sultry nights beside the ocean, to atmospheric dreamscapes and imaginary galleries, fuelled by fantasy, desire and heightened emotion.

The first six tracks are accompanied by the smooth tones of saxophonist Ian Thomson overlaid across the subtle and classy keys of Ken Lowe. The mood is mellow, the tone celebratory. Claire’s distinctive and unifying vocals dip and soar providing the dynamic bridge between moods.

The final two tracks employ seductive lyrics and a pulsing irresistible beat, both having been inspired by iconic artist Amanda Lear, (who has recorded and released two of our earlier songs).
