The approved groove and the playing from the best of the best are still there, but Paulo has also collaborated with alot of writers to add different flavors and textures to his music. Primarily this can be seen in the lyrics department and Paulo gives his explanation as to why: I see this record as a tribute to all my heroes that got me into music in the first place, I mean wihtout bands and artists like Earth Wind & Fire, Jimi Hendrix, Deep Purple, Thin lizzy - the list goes on - I wouldn't be where I am today, they were my teachers and there records where my encyclopedias... The variety of „DOES ANYBODY WANNA FUNK? is what will keep the listener intrigued and fascinated from title to title, taking them on a musical journey that spans over genres, tempos, sounds and flavours with no bars held. In doing so the record perfectly mirrors the persona of Paulo Mendonca in that he is not interested in doing something that is artistically narrow and single minded - it's about expressing who you are - and there are many sides to this multi-faceted musician!
