The Hours" is much more then just a showcase for Alma's rich, lush voice - it's a deeply personal story that delivers both subtle and intricate versions of beautiful Montenegrin melodies, traditional gospel and American Songbook songs, as well as Alma's original compositions. Her writing is elegant and rewarding, making a wonderful connection between past and the present.
