Dance/Alternative

"WORLDS OF LOVE" consists of twelve dance flavored stories about different romantic relationships. Nine songs and three instrumentals. Some song stories are somewhat humorous and semi-satirical, and include such topics as insects, dream lovers, gay affairs, modern women, broken hearts, hookers, dominance, and personal phone ads. Although most lyrics are in English there are some in Japanese, Spanish, French, German, Italian, and a bit of Dutch. Except for the harmony / background vocals in "Bettina" all female voices are sound effects.
