This is the first album of original music by Marc Broussard since 2017. Ten brand-new songs from one of the finest Southern Soul singers, this album has been well worth the wait. Broussard has surrounded himself with the cream of the crop of musicians as well as producers, Eric Krasno, who also chips in on writing some of the songs, and Jeremy Most. The horn arrangements are courtesy of Daniel Casares who put the funk into funky here.
The songs are so Soulful, so full of harmony and groove, Broussard has knocked this out or the park once again. Cold Blooded is one example of just how silky smooth Broussard and Krasno have developed since starting to work on this album together. Time Is A Thief is the epitome of Soul and Funk, it sometimes takes you back to the heady days of early 70s Soul that came out of Harlem, even though Marc Broussard is from the Southern side of the genre.
Give You The World had me thinking about what it reminded me of, and then it dawned on me, Hall and Oates. Not that Broussard is in any way trying to copy them, he certainly doesn’t need to try and imitate anyone, I think that he’s such a good writer and singer, he oozes class like others have done that have gone before him. The final track, Stay Still almost made me feel rather sad, mainly because it was the end of such a marvelous album. It really is a top-drawer piece of work.
