Album Notes & Community Reviews

Guided by the lush, cinematic production of Thom Bell, 'Round 2' is an immaculate masterclass in orchestrated Philadelphia soul. The album is anchored by soaring falsetto harmonies that navigate through bittersweet narratives of romantic heartbreak and longing. It generated multiple massive hit singles, perfectly distilling the smooth, symphonic R&B aesthetic that dominated the era.
