MERMAID'S TAILS is a powerful mid tempo track with Deep Soul flavor, psyche influences and a strong Hip Hop feeling. The song leads you through the dreamy desires of the perfect Love. The melody and the lyrics are both poetic and trivial. The track melts fantasy and reality in a Psyche Soul mood. The bass is heavy and deep, the drums sound like a Hip Hop sample to be while the Rhodes and the guitars are lushy. Along with the fuzz counter chant and flute improvisations they create the perfect music to Rachel Yarabou's intense yet very smooth voice.

KICK OFF THE ROAD is an uptempo song with bluesy verses, a strong driving beat and a heavy stomping bass. They lead us to the funky chorus full of organ hits & drum breaks. The Stax feeling of the band is mixed with James Brown's influences until the bridge that propulses the tune into an uplifted psyche parenthesis. In this song Rachel Yarabou sings the story of a girl willing to follow her own path and prefers to " Kick Off The Road " until she gets there ! Christelle Amoussou, the songwriter of the band is giving us another Soul anthem for freedom and Womens' emancipation.
