Rating: ééé1/2
Genre: Jazz and Soul
Described by some as a Jazz singer for the Hip Hop generation. I don't hear it. I may be too old-school, but what I hear is Bill Withers in the 21st century (which I consider a good thing.) New York City's Jose James lists Marvin Gaye as an influence and I can hear that too. This is great as either a sound track to an easy day or for focused listening in a contented mood. Both the opener It's All Over Your Body and Trouble remind me so much of Bill Withers, it's easy to forget he hasn't had a new studio release in almost 30 years. Or, try my favorite, the simple, beautiful Come To My Door.
