Conceived during a “sleepless night of full moon inspiration,” Esperanza’s upcoming album, Emily’s D+Evolution is an experimental Rock/Jazz/Soul project that will require an open mind. Paradigms are shattered, conventions cast aside and art is made as she delivers an audio iconoclast sure to polarize. Lead single, Good Lava, was a great way to introduce her alter ego to the world in all of its nonconformist glory, but the rest of the album is not as funky as the lead single. A favorite is the Jimi Hendrix influenced, Rest in Pleasure with its singing guitars and mellow vibe that may be more palatable to fans of her style. Check this out and grab the album when it drops Mar 4
