Album Notes & Community Reviews

In a calculated effort to reclaim his sonic legacy from the hip-hop generation that heavily sampled his catalog, the Godfather of Soul teamed with producer Full Force. The resulting tracks fuse his signature funk shouts with the tough, synchronized drum loops of New Jack Swing. The title track emerged as a prominent urban contemporary radio hit, asserting his modern relevance in an era of digital groove production.
