Singer/songwriter Joanie Pallato teams up with Fareed Haque on guitars, vibes, keyboards and percussion with a rotating cast of Steve Eisen/fl, John Devlin/b, Luiz Ewerling/dr, Howard Levy/p and other cameos. Pallato’s voice has a 70s pop sound to it, pretty on the samba “Open You Eyes”, abstract on the bohemian “The Photograph” and dreamy in a delicate setting with classical guitar and piano on “Rest. She saunters with her own vocal harmony on the tropical title tune, and is intimate as she gets dramatic on “The Confessional”. Optimistic tones.
