Bassist Esperanza Spalding has never sat still in her career, with each album a whole different volume from the previous musical novels. This time up, she collaborates with Corey King with a six song ep that seeps with intimacy.
Her voice is wispy along the pulsed lines of “Formwela 6” while there is a piano pattern on the more bold “Formwela 5”. A mix of ocean sounds, breeze and nylon strings create a folksy “Formwela 4”, all with King. Vocalist Ganavya adds eerie tones to “Formwela 2” while Spalding herself is angelic in voice with p iano on “Formwela 1” and artsy with synthesizer during “Formwela 3”. Etchings in one’s drawing room.
