Kismet (meaning "Destiny"), is the first studio album by musician Jesca Hoop, released on September 17, 2007 through RED Ink Records. [1] The song "Love and Love Again" was co-written with David Baerwald while Stewart Copeland guests on the song "Seed Of Wonder." The song "Intelligentactile 101" was released prior to the album. [2] According to Hoop, many of the songs on the album were "quite old." "Out the Back Door," a combination of early 20s jazz and hip hop, is a song she "wrote years ago, and then the movie Idlewild came out and it kind of reinforced my concept in that arena," explained Hoop.
