Michael Franks returns with his 18th album, Time Together, and it is a sublime collection that captures the breezy elegance fans have loved since The Art of Tea. With his trademark laidback vocals and witty, sensual lyricism, Franks crafts a travelogue of sound that draws on jazz, pop, samba and quiet storm cool. Songs like 'Summer in New York' and 'Samba Blue' paint vivid journeys, while 'If I Could Make September Stay' meditates on fleeting beauty. Closing epic 'Feather From an Angel's Wing' highlights Franks' poetic touch and Mark Egan's lush arrangement and it all makes for a masterclass in sophistication that is quintessentially Michael Franks.
