SHAZAM

Spaniard José Padilla delivers his second full-length record, featuring 14 tracks mostly composed himself based on personal thoughts and experiences. Mainly focused on music from ambient to chill-out, Navigator is comprised of gentle melodies flavored with Brazilian bossa nova, jazz fusion, and Spanish flamenco, covering Burt Bacharach's "The Look of Love" (an orchestrated version featuring vocals by smooth jazz vocalist N'Dea Davenport) and a sensual and intimate "Adios Ayer" (sung by Seal). Navigator becomes an enjoyable journey through ethnic and modern soundscapes. As defined by ambient music pioneer Brian Eno, it's been made to induce calm and provide space to think. ~ Drago Bonacich, Rovi
