By the end of 2007, she had released her acclaimed, instrumental debut, Transformation, and hit the road with Chick Corea. Tal went on to appeared on A&E with Herbie Hancock and Wayne Shorter, then joined Jeff Beck's world tour for what culminated in her global breakout moment. Her performance at Eric Clapton's 2007 Crossroads Festival in Chicago, which has generated more than 10 million plays on YouTube.

Wilkenfeld chose direct-to-fan leaders, PledgeMusic, to release her latest record so she could bring her fans inside the creative process. The new music is an intoxicating, intimate reimagining of the singer-songwriter idiom.
