NATUREBOY
May 20th, 2004 by susanna
The first thing i heard was a voice that felt like it was oozing through my ears. such a beautiful sound. Natureboy’s female vocalist really knows how to get you in the mood for chilling. With some delicate piano work tickling your ears, this set flows along smoothly keeping you so relaxed with its gentle jazz. Lush is the word for Nature Boy.
