Moving on to "Traveling Miles", Wilson pays tribute to the legendary Miles Davis with a collection of reimagined classics. Her unique take on songs like "So What" and "Blue in Green" breathe new life into these old favourites, showcasing her impeccable musicianship.

"Glamoured" takes us on a journey through Wilson's sultry and seductive side, with tracks like "Waters of March" and "Time After Time" oozing with sensuality. Her velvety vocals are a perfect match for the smooth jazz vibes of this album.

Lastly, we have "Thunderbird", a return to Wilson's roots with a collection of blues-infused tracks that showcase her soulful side. With songs like "Go to Mexico" and "Strike a Match", she proves that she is a force to be reckoned with in the world of music.
