August 14, 2004

From the opening it's got that ever-so-subtle touch that separates moving ballads from cocktail lounge fodder. A Time For Love finds singer Mili Bermejo in a less-is-more setting, relying mostly on a piano and bass backing instead of the sextets and octets from her past few albums.
