Odyssey, the second album by the renowned saxophonist and composer Nubya Garcia, effortlessly captivates listeners with its enchanting and alluring tracks packed with her signature flair for orchestral arrangements.
Continuously expanding her horizons with her second solo album, Garcia takes it up an even higher notch with Odyssey, exploring more in-depth musical realms that unlock realms of inner reflection and a tightly arranged sonic journey that is simply sublime.
Drizzling the tracks with tasty flavours of jazz, the masterful composition and production of Odyssey are on full display with each song from the album. With each track containing a beautiful essence of Garcia’s musical prowess, the songs in Odyssey are delicately enveloped with layers upon layers of orchestral melodies and enchanting vocals.
As a follow-up to her first album, SOURCE — which was met with critical acclaim, Odyssey further cements Garcia’s reputation as a stellar composer and musician. Producing a masterful compilation of tracks that blends orchestra with R&B, dub, and jazz — Odyssey is a creative mix worth repeating for ages.
Songs such as “The Seer”, “Clarity”, and “Solstice” perfectly express a vibrant and chaotic arrangement that still holds it down melodically with ease and style. “We Walk In Gold”, featuring soul singer Georgia Anne Muldrow, is another highlight from Odyssey worth mentioning for its powerful and moving musicality.
All the songs on the album are worthy of praise. Odyssey is a musical treat from beginning to end and yet another testament to Nubya Garcia’s indisputable talent.
