PreS—The second album from Lullaby Confessions, this collection of 12 original ballads with a mix of "island twist" and New Age is sweet without being cloying. The album opens with "Dreams," which features an electric piano, steel drums, and a female vocalist singing about having sweet dreams. Among the other songs sharing similar instrumentation are "You Are Loved," "Win the Race," "Twinkle," and "You Bring Joy." Positive messages are featured in each song. Composed by Barrie D. Buckner Jr., Rodney P. Young, and Terron Brooks, every number features the solo singing talents of either Kosaka, Mai, or Brooks. The last two tracks are instrumental versions of two songs on the disc. No other performer credits are given. This would be perfect to play during naptime or at bedtime.—Stephanie Bange, Wright State University, Dayton, OH
