If Nicolette sounds 'Billy Holliday-esque' then so must Kijo Mojo as
featured on Skycutter's 'Crystal Blue' on Blood records as she sounds
EXACTLY the same as Nicolette. (A fact that they must have realised -
check out the similarities in the vocals and lyrics of the 3rd track
on this particular 10" and Massive Attack's 'Sly' for proof.)
