Rated 9/10
Hnggg my most anticipated record is finally here
...and it delivered.
A wonderfully smooth soulful album put together by none other than Anderson.Paak and Bruno Mars of all people, this record effortlessly throttles you into the shimmering and glamorous styles of 70's smooth soul and funk. From the sensual Leave the Door Open to the passionate Smile and the funky as hell 777 this record touches on all bases that you would want. Bruno's vocals are powerful as hell, and evoke that same immense stage presence that James Brown or Sam Cooke would give. Paak's vocals are smooth and witty, with him bringing the energy and personality of the two. Together their dynamic is dynamite.
My only real issue is that it's too goddam short!! This record is here and gone before you know it, and also with this being a beyond faithful recreation of that classic style, there is very little in the way of progressiveness or a real sense of anything new. Even still, this is a damn. Good. Soul project. Maybe not my album of the year, but definitely in my top 5.
