In order for the class and the crux of this album is described: 1 A Soul craft consistently, but - to put it gently - pronounced "postmodern" in its overall composition, simply altertümelnd in his sound and his song structures, as evidenced by the adaptation of such age-old material as "Compared to. .. "is also underlined. Does it even really "modern", it sounds like in "Ghetto Boy" after recording the dub-Kings - and insiders know what that means ....
This diminishes unless the whole thing in his musical quality, even if it is, as described, quite strong moves in timeless arbitrariness. The problem arises however with the fact that with the achievement of the aforementioned "Hang On In There" the rest of 5 tracks pretty abschwingt. From here a little reggae in Desmond Decker style and some even follow "few" Bill Withers ballads, sometimes even with extreme lengths the played - which is clearly the suspense can get lost. Unfortunately, this applies to both expiry of the complete recording as well as for individual songs. The latter even more so as just to complete this 5 voltage poorest tracks the CD.
All this is one track in his quote character not just conservative, no, unfortunately it's pretty conventional. Surprisingly conventional for a shot at the Roots "participate". Although the find place, and sometimes, as 2, 3 times, they may also hiphoppen - but otherwise just the backing of the conventional tendency Soul musician.
Considered objectifying would total a maximum range of 3 stars. I like this kind of music, especially the reference to Gaye and Whiters and Les McCann but too much to go below 4. For that you have to let the Legend & Roots, performed that is perfectly conventional.
