The sophomore album from this group is impeccably amazing. The incorporation of both Spanish and English tracks breaks cultural boundaries. That in addition to the musical mashing of genres is what makes this group stand out. Putting together genres such as electronic, jazz, Latin and that’s of an orchestra is beyond the unthinkable and definitely unexpected. The title track “More Shine” offers some infectious jazz tunes, and exceptional lyrics. The addition of some powerful violin and funky percussion simply adds to its enjoyment. “Agua” is a brilliant electronic track and adds in some use of running water. The track is completely in Spanish, and whether you know Spanish or not you’ll be entrapped in the musical bliss. A percussion heavy “Karma” has so much rhythm and melody to it its almost overwhelming. The beat is so funky and fun backing the beautiful vocals the album is an instantaneous hit.
