When we sound together, happiness happens naturally.

When we sing the way we want to, we remember that we are free creators.

I found it fascinating. This music is deep and soulful and rather mysterious — like Tayna. Her voice is wonderfully expressive. I think that her strongest asset is her ability to create an atmosphere. In this regard she reminds me of Patricia Barber. They can both cast a spell.
