One of the best tracks, Body II Body, wriggles and sweats like two teens making out in the backseat of a small car (it also features a smartly chosen sample from David Bowie's Ashes to Ashes). Mumba's music is ear candy: it crunches, it bubbles, it melts in the mouth. Her vernal personality (she co-wrote seven of the 12 songs) is what gives her CD lasting flavor...
