October London’s ‘The Rebirth Of Marvin’ has been one of the most sought after contemporary Soul albums since it appeared as a download nearly two years ago, now it is finally available as a limited edition CD and LP. October displays a very credible and heavy influence from Marvin Gaye in his vocal delivery, style and songs on this very strong 11 track album. Most of the songs are mid tempo beat ballads like ‘Rollercoaster’, ‘Back To Your Place’ and ‘You Give Me Love’. There are more upper mid tempo semi funky tunes like ‘Make Me Wanna’ and the slightly slower but outstanding ‘Mulholland Drive’ which also features Latoya Williams’ sweet voice and Snoop Dogg singing. There is a nod to other greats: Donny Hathaway on ‘Lovers Interlude’ and Isaac Hayes on ‘You Better Love’, but Marvin is October’s main man throughout this enjoyable album.
