The Asian Flavour
- Beside Me-Davichi (Emotive vocals fit for an adult contemporary format.)
- He Was Really Saying Something-The Velvelettes (With such an accessible hook and Motown-style harmonies, it's puzzling that this wasn't a hit.)
- Tomorrow-Rachael Sage (A thoughtful, plaintive reminder that you're not as isolated as you might think; tastefully sung acoustic folk, with appropriately quiet vocals.)
- Egyetlen maganyom-Blahalouisiana (Catchy power pop vocals and appealing keyboard accompaniment from a group that has a way with a hook. I'd be curious to hear The Cardigans cover this.)
- Don't Explain-Dexter Gordon (A warm ballad, ideal for late nights; Gordon shines on tenor sax, and Sonny Clark's piano playing underscores Gordon's melody perfectly.)
- Move On Up-Curtis Mayfield (Some of the best sustained synergy between uptempo vocals, horns, and percussion I've heard; hang in there for the full nine minutes.)
- What You Don't Do-Lianne La Havas (The keyboard part brings Sly & The Family Stone's "Hot Fun In The Summertime" to mind and complements La Havas's vocals.)
