Xica Jool | Fashion Dancing For Extreme People Who Don't Like To Sweat | CD Available Here


The deep empathy shown in the study of "fashion" to generalize and feminine preferences to be specific is sometimes absurd, sometimes harrowing but often insightful. This ep is worth it just for this track, but there's more!

The second track, "Sensational" is partially sung in Spanish and uses one of the few Spanish words familiar to me - "corazon" - so it must be from the heart, the dancability will crash through any language barriers regardless.

The third selection on the 5 track disc is "Show Me The Light" a seemy dialogue between Xica Jool and a male paramour; definitely a nigthtclub favorite.

The two remaining tracks are instrumental versions (we miss those vocalists) of "Sensational" and "Show Me The Light" - the loss of vocal lyricism only allows a deeper penetration of the spicy tapestry.

Definitely will appeal to fans of strong Hispanic woman's voices, Salsa, Lounge, and Club tracks.

CD is available from Zolatone Music here
