Aloe Blacc: Good Things Label: Stones Throw Wow, this is my recommendation for album of the year. I loved every song in this album. This is some really great soul/R&B, done in a very sincere style. Aloe's words are thoughtful, and the melodies just grab you deep in your gut like good soul music always should. DO NOT MISS #7, a cover of VU's "Femme Fatale". All good, but you should try: 1,3,8,12,13. 1. Lovely plaintive urban soul, beautifully done 2. A sweet acoustic-esque style to this one 3. Funky groove! Nice horns, great Hammonds, got a Blaxpoitation flavor to it 4. Nice soul song set to a reggae-dub tempo 5. Slow & melancholy soul, with fem vox chorus backing 6. Moody track. Insistent and visceral soul. 7. Ooh, a soul cover of Velvet Underground's "Femme Fatale"! Smooth & sexy! 8. A sweet R&B track, catchy pop sensibilities here 9. Fantastic guitar here, warm vocals, catchy melodies 10. Gentle & loving soul in the style of Al Green 11. Sloooow soul simmer. Genuine old school romantic here. 12. Family-based lyrics, lovely ballad 13. Great horns - retro soul vibe that takes you way back |
