Album Notes & Community Reviews

Comprised of merely four extended tracks, this masterful follow-up continued to shatter the conventions of short-form soul radio hits. Through grandiose string orchestrations and deeply intimate, spoken-word monologues, the baritone vocalist transformed pop standards like George Harrison's 'Something' into sprawling, sensual psychedelic soul epics.
