British singer songwriter Myles Sanko has made a career defining album in ‘Just Being Myself’ a collection of 10 well written orchestrated message Soul songs which have echoes of 70’s Bill Withers, Hathaway, Gil Scott Heron and acoustic Womack. It starts with an instrumental soul ‘Freedom’ leading into the superb atmospheric title track. ‘Promises’ has an urgent groove. ‘Sunshine’ is a lovely piano backed ballad. ‘For You’ is a good upper mid tempo song, whilst ‘Land of Paradise’ is a powerful part spoken word message song with lovely hypnotic brass section. ‘I Belong to you’ is a nice mid tempo ballad with a Withers influence whilst ‘Missing You’ has a Womack Poet era type of groove. Great timeless music , certainly amongst the best British Soul albums ever recorded.
