A work that develops a sophisticated, adult pop sound.
Herb Alpert, also known as the founder of the A&M label, has taken a new direction in his career with this album. Incorporating elements of Latin and jazz, the album intertwines with '80s synth sounds to create a light and romantic world. The trumpet sounds are particularly striking, evoking the city's nightscape.
