recently discovered M. Franks work with his 2nd album "The Art of Tea". And it has been a true revelation for me.
"One Bad Habit" is one to look at too. smooth jazzy vibes, really well produced album and of course beautiful Franks' voice. It is an overall really nice piece of music, I really like :
- "Baseball"
- "All Dressed Up With Nowhere To Go"
- One Bad Habit
