Tapped by Ruben Blades as a guest vocalist on his 2003 album Mundo, Luba Mason delivered a rendition of “Danny Boy” that was hailed as “celestial” by the L.A. Times and “soaring” by the Boston Globe. Theatregoers already knew Luba from her starring roles on Broadway in Jekyll and Hyde, The Capeman, and How to Succeed, but Mundo opened up a whole new audience. Her performance left fans thirsting for more; now Luba steps into the spotlight with her astonishing debut album, an electrifying blend of Latin, pop, jazz, theatre, and folk.

In Time Out New York, James Gavin raved, "Luba Mason, the sultry ice-blond costar of The Capeman and Jekyll & Hyde, is as alluring on her new CD as she is on Broadway.  Born of Slovak parents, Mason has a tart, muscular voice with a brain behind it, and a lot of bristling Eastern European passion. She brings out the edge in both Tom Waits’s tender apology ‘Take Me Home,’ and in an unsentimental country-rock arrangement of ‘Mr. Bojangles.’ In Mason’s hands, [Ruben] Blades’s Spanish translation of ‘The Look of Love’ sounds even sexier than the original.”
