Smiling Inside

2010 release from the British-born/Italy-based vocalist (and wife of musician Paolo Serazzi). The album starts with a poem, an intro into Patricia's world, somehow leading you into her music with soft dulcet tones. She recites the poem 'Sun Song' as her intro, written by one of her favorite authors and poets Langston Hughes, which fittingly relates to the earthy, warm natured music of the album. All the songs are ones that hit home to me says Lowe, she feels a deep connection with each one and enthusiastically recalls their story and how some including the song 'Tutu', were instrumental pieces that have been developed and interpreted over time. The album concludes with 'Just Kofi', an instrumental piece played by the man himself in his natural Jazz style.
