British/Jamaican/Nigerian singer Bianca would fit snugly in the musical arena occupied by the likes of Corinne Bailey Rae and Beverley Knight with her gentle soulful/gospel infused vocals, amply demonstrated by tracks such as "Hidden" and "Eagles". Production is handled in a sensitive fashion by Femi Temowo who has worked with George Benson and Amy Winehouse. There is also a hint of jazz on "Wall Paper Painting" which is not surprising given her appearances at jazz festivals in London and Netherlands. The album message is one of encouragement and motivation. To aid this there are "stories" intertwined with the songs, something that to my mind does not work on repeated listening. Overall though, the album is an enjoyable collection, without being musically demanding to the listener.
