"Well worth your time."

Ta-ku is known for his emotional range but here he shows himself to be more architect than artist; an artisan, not a tortured soul.

Love Somebody is a woozy, disorienting swoon — a precise encapsulation of the crazy journey love sends you on. There's no hint of pain or regret, merely the dance that grown folks do when Cupid's arrow hits its mark. Treading Water sees the traditional concept flipped: Wafia is treading on water, not treading water — excelling, not merely surviving. Meet In The Middle pulses and sways beautifully. The (m)edian EP is crafted around the subject of passion. Well worth your time.
