A polished late-’80s/early-’90s pop-soul blend with a gently exotic, romantic tint: supple electric bass, crisp live drums, hand percussion, bright piano and clean electric-guitar accents. Add airy synth pads, subtle mallet tones and a melodic saxophone or flute line; warm, expressive female vocals sit close in the mix, layered with soft harmonies, plate reverb and tasteful delay over a relaxed mid-tempo groove.
