An urban sound that combines the sophistication of soul and pop.
A soul/R&B work by Jerry De Boe. The light rhythm and melodic structure create a warm and sophisticated sound.
The harmony of melody and rhythm is striking throughout the album. The vocals are smooth and solid, and the arrangements are simple yet precise. The bass and drum grooves are soft, making it a highly polished piece of listening music. The flow of chords woven by the keyboard and guitar is impressive, maintaining a comfortable balance between pop and R&B. The recording is clean, with a sense of spatial depth, and the sound images of each instrument are naturally positioned. The composition is unified overall yet diverse, giving it a sense of calm yet a solid core. This is a modern soul work that combines urban sophistication and warmth.
