Jose James has a voice from another era – a warm, effortless vintage that works incredibly well on this stunning set of a dozen old school soul cuts.
The guest list reads like a who’s who: Ledisi , Christian Scott , Lizz Wright , Erik Trufaz, Aloe Blac and Laura Mvulva all lend their talents.
The production is superbly warm and positive – the infectious ‘Feels So Good’ will be impossible to remain seated to, the playful ‘You Know What To Do’ finds James’ throaty delivery working so well with groove while he goes into vocal jazz territory with Mvulva on the deliciously live band of ‘Nobody Knows My Name’.
The rich blues of ‘Take Me Home’ is a deep, shimmering duet with Lizz Wright while the mid tempo swagger of ‘I Need Your Love’ finds Ledisi in fine form. The gentle boogie of ‘Baby Don’t Cry’ is another strong highlight on this exceptional album.
