About the Album

All About Love reveals the strong song writing ability of a singer better known for belting out American jazz and rhythm and blues. Full of fire and a high level of rhythmic and melodic content rarely heard these days, the disc features nine tracks in English and two in Spanish. Noteworthy tracks include Galan’s composition “Arms of Love” on Track 2. A contemporary jazz piece with sophisticated Latin elements, it also appeals to adult contemporary listeners. Using Indian influence on the rhythm at the beginning of the song as well as funk. Kamau Kenyatta solidifies the arrangement with the soulful soprano sax solo. Vocals are warm and intimate, carrying the song from simple beginning to powerful conclusion.
