'Here it Comes' is the third studio album from Michael Carlos. The record covers vastly more stylistic territory than either of the first two releases, including instrumental bossa nova, blues, funk, reggae, and the Tom Waits-style jazz song, "Beautiful and Cruel," a songwriting contest finalist in 2011. The record recounts tales of "love gone wrong" or about to go wrong, and characters feeling trapped (actually or psychologically) in circumstances of their own making. Both the bossa nova piece, "Menina do Jardim" and a fast-paced Spanish-language ska song with horns, "Pobre Pablito," further Michael Carlos' visibility to the Latin-crossover market.
