When Sofi Hellborg is following To Give Is To Get , she does it without the help of Tony Allen . Jean-Francois Ludovicus who plays on all the songs this time has a smarter game style that is not very similar to Allen's loyal soft afrobeat. Now, this Drumming Is Calling Does not Stop Calling From Being Deeply Rotated In The Afrophunk's Mill. But a clear difference from the last is that Hellborg and her orchestra pull more on the afropop. It's a bit lighter and airy, at the same time in my ears a bit trickier. At best, I think it will be when the fun gets thick in the introductory Government Lies , Maybe I Was Dreaming and It's Ok Now . Then it's really good. But I can not help thinking that the peaks are a bit too few and that the lightjazzen got a little too much space ( Mother Earth , My Love and Can not Stop To Play are all examples of songs that make it crawl a little unpleasant in my body).
