Just how many kinds of love are there? In this album there are16, count ‘em, 16 definitions of love, in as many musical styles! Critics’ Choice for Best Album produced in 2003.

Pop songs usually go for the girl-boy thing, and for good reason. It’s the most obvious form of love and almost everybody knows what it means. If you are tired of all the cliches you will welcome this album; it stretches the imagination and widens the definition of “what makes the world go ‘round.”
