The Travel Size EP:
It moves. It grooves. It shines. All with quality vocals and great
range, well written, performed and engineered makes these jazz-pop offerings
stick. Alma not only wrote and produced the EP but also layers her voice
throughout.
Bright and bouncing with percussion as its base, “Get-Go” is a
romantic jazz-pop xxx showcasing Alma’s airy, innocent vocal qualities. The
energy inherent in the song, the mastering in breaks, fades, and tempo changes
make this a winner!
“Medicine Man” has minimal piano, light percussion and flowing
vocals sending the listener into a free fall where it is so easy to forget the
message in a dream-like aura of vocal triumph. Listen for the understated
electric guitar at song’s mid-point to end accentuating the message. Acoustic
guitar and up-tempo vocals bring “Oh, K” to the top. Listen for the break and
the feel. “West Side Winter” (featuring Marcus Broderick) is soft and gentle. The
duet flies with Alma’s lift but soaring vocals having a foundation with Broderick’s
vocals entering softly in the first refrain to share his lead. A very well
balanced duet.
You & I (Live, Single)”
“You & I (Live)” is slow and cautious with acoustic guitar and
vocals mixing to tell a story of a relationship done with mature innocence on
the part of the musicians.
Beauty in simplicity – look no further!
