INNOCENT FUTURE is an inspiring mix of Barbara's hip intelligence, street toughness and touching vulnerability. Filled with solid pop sensibility, it covers a gamut of modern musical trends: rock and roll guitars on "Tribes" move on to light acoustic guitar and vocal on "Satellite," into introspective solo piano/vocals of "Gravity" and back to the minor country-rock feel of "Telephone Call." Barbara's rich vocals and intelligent writing deliver an inspirational message of hope for an Innocent Future.
