“Stunning Album” says Solar Radio

August 28th, 2007 filed in Press

Stunning album, very instant and likeable with several standout tracks. Mixing old school sensibilities, very Southern Funky kind of vibe, but still very much an album for now. Rock with me. Midtempo, mellow vibe, catchy and I’m sure the UK will love this, sort of crossover (UK definition) type sound, and already getting plays by me at SoulFreedom events.

Mr. Shonuff has that southern funky feel, bit kind of stax-y bit kind of TK, but again
Instantly likeable and this is where the album scores heavily, the easiness that it feels.

That said there’s heavier soul stuff too and it’s about you is possibly my favorite cut of all, a top ballad.

But all tracks are strong; a very powerful deep soul blues “you’ll Never Know” is growing on me by the minute and might soon be my favorite. Sometimes with instant tracks, I worry that they may lose longevity but this kind of track stays in you forever.

So Melissa can cut it at lots of levels and this should bring good success if there is any justice.
