The petite Mallorcan's star remains in the ascendant. Now relocated to Miami, she's clearly reaching for a pan-American audience on this sixth album. It's an eclectic affair, taking her acrobatic flamenco vocals into a more jazz flavoured zone and mixing her songs with covers of Jacques Brel and Abbey Lincoln. A classy cast includes Pat Metheny on the slow No Lo Se, which proves the most aching excursion; mostly, Buika bustles, turning even Billie Holiday's bittersweet Don't Explain into a brisk flamenco fusion. It's as sophisticated as its sleek cover shot, if short of the yearing ballads that made her famous.
