INNER SECRETS

The record marks further departure from Latin sound, embracing more mainstream feeling and absorbing more pop sound without brass and lively instrumentation of the past. This means that the album is still of good quality with several well written songs but lacking ambitions of previous releases. Vocals on this album remind a bit of Steve Winwood.

The first song "Dealer/Spanish rose" has quite good vocals and melody. "One chain" is the most evident disco attempt until now with bass guitar saving the reputation in the absence of guitar. "Well alright" is not a surprise cover considering vocal colour of the lead singer. "Open invitation" is an attempt at a classic rock song. "Life is a lady/holiday" is a moody instrumental, filled with laid back emotions.

Most of tracks here are forgettable regardless of music style you like and the only two facts that stand out are confident guitar playing and soulful vocals. Not enough to exceed 2 stars.
