This is music for a positive frame of mind.
Cosmo’s Cosmo is her ‘eighth album, mining a rich seam of latin and world music influences, this is sunshine music, woven with smiles. Sharing the writing credits across the band, the tunes share the freedom of a child’s imagination, exploring the world with all its potential for play.
