After a long 10 years in the making, finally a new album is released on May 27, 2008. Ian de Souza and Rosina Kazi have been making music and for the past 5 of those long 10 years. They have been working on perfecting an album that they can genuinely say they are 100% proud of and satisfied with. It’s pretty smart from their position to not rush the process of perfection and finish something that you can call a masterpiece from an artistic point of view. Deportation is an album with endless messages of peace and awareness to give a person a different way of looking at life and the different things that are going on behind the scenes that are often unnoticed. With help from friends Nicholas Murra, Rakesh Tewari, and Zoe Johnson, Lal’s new album has come together in time and is something that has the hope of giving peace and understanding to people across the beautiful planet we call home.
The down tempos, electronic and soul touching beats are what give this record its brilliance. Something people can converse about. The peaceful melodies mixed with the subtle percussion and bass along with Rosina’s beautiful and sexy vocals. Each song on this album has the ability to touch your heart. The lyrics are touching and make you think. This is a conversation bullet, and an album to talk about; even the song titles make you think.
