Sofia Rei Koutsovitis is one of New York's most passionate, charismatic and inventive vocalists, but she brings more than the depth and fullness of a riveting voice to her second album, Sube Azul. She also serves as the album's composer, arranger, lyricist and - with bassist Jorge Roeder - producer. Following up on Ojalý, her polyglot and multilingual debut, she offers this time a collection of mostly original Spanish-language songs, building on a new set of growth experiences since moving to New York in 2005.
