Great album! Excellent song writing collaboration.

I agree with Hughes that it could be one of Essra's best albums. A majority of the music (except for the bonus tracks) was all written by Ronnie James (who was also in the band as the synth/guitarist and acoustic on Silver Ships). There's no doubt that Essra's vocals are outstanding. The collaboration between her lyric writing and Ronnie James' music writing, is superb!

Essra Mohawk really has something
