Review: For his sophomore release, Leatherman has strung together an eclectic collection of songs across varying genres. H Ae is a masterful vocalist with a tight band exploring different situations in love within a fusion of soul, funk, blues, & jazz. Seven originals and three covers. Anyone who believes men don't know how to express their feelings needs to listen to this.
