Steve Lipson f Avec Sans, "Impossible"

Steve Lipson was one of the producers involved with Grace Jones' epic "Slave to the Rhythm" (which, as a sidenote, was the subject of an academic conference paper I presented about 15 years ago, which got snarkily referenced by Alex Ross in The New Yorker: https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2003/07/14/rock-101). This new song sounds almost nothing like Grace Jones, but it does sound a bit like the more sophisticated side of late-70s Eurodisco (like an airier Amanda Lear). It's smooth and a bit jazzy, a midweek treat.
