“We started off kind of rocky” is a contradictory start to a sonorous track deeply resplendent in its jazzy overlay, but the residual pain from a love that Ria Boss used to know helps gel the unlikely pairing on “Remember”, the opener and title track of her debut album. Over 11 tracks, Remember is unencumbered in its grand designs of a love that is intentional and all-encompassing. The eagerness to smoothly roll over uncomfortable things with her voice continues on “Somali Rose”, as the Ghanaian Burkinabe singer goes, “Tell me all your secrets and your fears/Tell me that you need me,” an invitation to vulnerability.
