troubadette: It's always great to meet new people from the random collaboration thread! I suggested we try something for the weekly challenge (which we're getting in just under the wire, yay us!) and rahma_the_bass already had a very cool twist on the idea in mind - made up words in scrabble and jazz scatting.

She sent me through her verses and I immediately thought about my biggest struggle in scrabble - words in other languages! I added my verses, and a very cute little duet was formed. Vocals from us both, arrangement by me with Band in a Box. Lovely to work with you, rahma_the_bass!
