description: All the fancy elements of the site (including php, xml, action script, and jquery) are designed to enhance the themes and usability of the site. One of these themes is a modern retro sound that this soul artist exhibits. The webfonts, images, and even the twitter feed tie in with this theme.

This site is also unique because it is all organized onto one page. This allows the music to play continuously while browsing the other parts of the site like discography or tour information.

The biggest technical achievement of this site was the inclusion of latest tour information from last.fm. Application programming interfaces (API) are a growing trend in web design. They provide access, often free, to data. That data can then be styled with CSS and become an integrated and dynamic part of the website.
