The vibe is loose and mellow with soaring sultry vocals and trippy drumbeats.

Editorial review

Thematic given the fact the information and cover painting resemble a Latin jazz or salsa dance-oriented album within, the album throws a slight curve with more dance and techno-oriented on the opening "Cancion De La Paloma." Singer Coco Love Alcorn leads the way on "Chocolate Cake," a trip-hop and soulful melding with somewhat satisfactory sounds and results. Despite the various layers and arrangements, the lyrics, like most danceable albums, are inherently weak and quite artificial. Too often the delivery and general performance isn't as crisp as it should be, often sounding lackadaisical and ineffective. Thankfully, the malaise is broken with some percussion and Latin beats during If I Had a Reason, slightly more upbeat than the preceding tracks. A funky Doughnut Shop continues the rhythm, but such tunes should be interspersed through the album, not saved for the end. An average effort that could has the potential to be better. ~ Jason MacNeil, All Music Guide

Bio / Background

The Marquis D'Affito invites you to an evening with Paloma. Stepping full-blown from the Tamara de Lempicka cd cover portrait, this real-life '30s-era Euro playboy smolders like a GQ model, his kohl-blackened eyes and cruel mouth promising decadence, delight, danger. The safe part of you whispers caution. The adventurous side steps forward with the unimpeachable logic that invitations this tantalizing shouldn't be ignored.

The Marquis parts the velvet curtain with a manicured hand, the music swells to life and your hips start to sway -- the singer urging you to fly, the magic-carpet groove taking you away. "Jazztronic" somebody whispers with a giddy laugh and you agree. Coco Love Alcorn, the singer, is indeed jazz - jazz bloodlines, jazz vocalese, jazz in the intuitive way she improvises sighs and aahs and "la-di-dahs" like pearls on a string. The electronics pulse in the beat-sequenced, programmed and massaged in a seamless mix of real and machine instrumentation.
