Courtney's strange experiences leave him feeling really mixed-up. His feelings are reflected in Confusion, sung by Eska Mtungwazi. Born in Zimbabwe, Eska is a singer songwriter, pianist and producer. She performs in a wide variety of musical styles, including soul, gospel, jazz and hip hop.

Eska's songs reflect these musical influences in exciting and original ways.

"Singing is fantastic because the voice can make such a variety of sounds. It can evoke a lot of meaning when using words or experimenting with tone from whispering to shouting out loud. It can mimic just about any sound the human ear can hear.

No other instrument in the world can do this, except a sampler, and even then it is simply sampling the voice anyhow! What a complete and utter joy to be able to abandon myself to these infinite possibilities!

Singing is simply sound produced from the voice. Once you begin to appreciate this then you can find yourself sitting in with a horn section in a band as comfortably as becoming part of an abstract soundscape using random tones."
