Evolve finds Ani in continuous pursuit of new musical directions. In between the gentle opening tones of "Promised Land" and the hushed closing chords of "Welcome To:," the record encompasses a variety of styles, from soaring three-part harmonies and Ani's trademark acoustic fireworks to horn- and clavinet-driven funk and syncopated Latin grooves. The 12-song record is the definitive musical statement from Ani and her 5-piece band, full of genuine poetry and innovative sounds.
