In general his albums explore various rhythms and elements of the Americas, from cumbias to milongas, and Cuban sounds, all handled with a sort of pop sound, he usually mixes styles and languages and because he cannot be defined into one specific style, he often likes to define himself as “de-genreate”(or lack of specific genre).

If you want to be afraid, just be afraid
If you want to go back home, just go back home
If you want to comb your hair, just comb your hair
If you want to be alone, just be alone
If you want to watch the sea, just watch the sea
But do it now, timing is the answer
Do it now, timing is the answer to success
If you want to give a kiss, just give a kiss
If you want to fall in love, just fall in love
If you want to never know, just never know
If you want to throw a fit, just throw a fit
If you want to give a show, just give a show
But do it now, timing is the answer, to success
I suppose, I suppose
And if you want to woah, woah!
Just weoh, woah oh!
If you want to tralala!
Just tralala!
If you want to booh hooh!
Just booh hooh hooh!
And if you want to salama, salama
Just salama, salama!
But do it now, don't doubt

And if you don't know what to do
Just do it now

¿Quién puede decir adónde va el camino, dónde el día fluye? Solamente el tiempo...
¿Y quién puede decir si su amor crece, como su corazón eligió? Solamente el tiempo...
¿Quién puede decir porqué sus suspiros del corazón, como su amor vuelan? Solamente el tiempo...
¿Y quién puede decir porqué grita su corazón, cuando su amor muere? Solamente el tiempo...
¿Quién puede decir cuándo los caminos satisfacen, ese amor pudo estar, en su corazón?
¿Y quién puede decir cuándo duerme el día, si la noche guarda todo su corazón? La noche guarda todo su corazón...
¿Quién puede decir si su amor crece, como su corazón eligió? Solamente el tiempo...
¿Y quién puede decir adónde va el camino, dónde el día fluye? Solamente el tiempo...
¿Quién sabe? Solamente el tiempo... ¿Quién sabe? Solamente el tiempo...

me parece que la piba aporta muchísimo. johansen no sólo es un músico. integra toda la escena, la llena con perform y es parte de la "mixtura" que ostenta permanentemente en su música. me parece un trabajo re - en equipo y muy muy bueno.
