‘True Love’ is the 2nd album from Gemma & The Travellers and the heavy funk and R&B is again to the fore on this energy filled 11 track set. The vibe mines heavily from the past but the results are strong: the Stovall Sisters provide the inspiration on the punchy ‘Better Late Than Never’, the northern soul of ‘Turn Yourself Around’ is also a highlight while the dark edged funky soul of ‘Do What You Want’ is another strong moment. Gemma’s throaty, full-on voice commands centre stage but she’s perhaps best on the mid tempo ender ‘True Love’ that draws on all the classic techniques to wring out the emotion. Good new funk/R&B set well worth discovering.
