详细介绍:
Curtis Harding has said that his third album is inspired by something his mother—a gospel singer who introduced him to music by Mahalia Jackson and Mavis Staples—used to say: Give me my flowers while I%27m still here. So he decided to pour out his love and appreciation, via song, for the people he loves before it%27s too late. Sometimes, that takes on a romantic bent: Bobbing along on rubber-band bass, The One finds Harding crooning, Baby I%27m the one/ Baby I%27m the one/ Baby I%27m the one you need, horns ascending along with him. Other times, it%27s for family, friends and community. Hopeful is a gorgeous, gospel-soul number, in the spirit of the Staples Singers, with majestic strings and a psychedelic breakdown. Evolution of change to pulsate the mind state/ It%27s not impossible for our mission to succeed/ You ask %27Are we chosen?%27/ I%27ll say %27Indeed,%27 Harding sing-raps. All the things that cause casualty to your soul/ Let it go/ Most of all be hopeful. Since his 2014 debut, Harding has been like a breath of fresh air, borrowing from garage rock, gospel, blues and, especially, the psychedelic soul of the Temptations and Isaac Hayes, to create something new that feels familiar without leaning too retro. (Leon Bridges also does this well.) Harding calls it slop %27n%27 soul, as in the messy bits hogs are fed. Can%27t Hide It lays down a funk riff and insistent drums to go with a Curtis Mayfield style chorus and breakdown. The album%27s title track will raise the hair on your neck, it%27s so alive with bright trumpet and sax, and a choir that sounds as big as Up With People. Explore stretches out on a bed of slow-cruise drums, dirty sax and mid-century futuristic synth, Harding luxuriating in the cool R&B with Eddie Kendricks-style falsetto lines. He adopts an Auto-Tune rap for So Low, which opens with spacey synth and a trilling flute that, later in the song, does backflips. Where%27s The Love snaps like the Temptations. It%27s a Wonder simmers in a bath of moody strings and dark, shadowy bass. And the gentle folk-and-soul rocker Forever More finds both Harding and the high trumpet parting the clouds like beacons of light. © Shelly RIdenour/Qobuz
