Singer-Songwriter Dorothy Cox has a new album, Princess Dorothy, a fusion of inter-cultural grooves. Dorothy was born in Zimbabwe of multicultural origins and considers herself a world citizen. She is based in Switzerland and travels worldwide pursuing an international career in music and film.

Princess Dorothy begins with a funky uptempo “Mixed & Others” followed by “Never Give Up” a mid-tempo song about the empowerment of women. “Madman’s Paradise” is a poetic ballad. “Every Day” throbs with dance-beat incantations then she bursts into “Something” a catchy song. The moving vocal-double bass duet “No Man’s Land” leads to Dorothy’s expressive voice. “Everybody’s got the Blues” whips up interaction between vocals and guitar. “I’ll be There” leads into uptempo grooves with reggae undertones. “Got to be Strong” is a gospel style crescendo. The album ends with an ethereal ballad called “Space Walking.”
