Grammy award winning Isiah Sharkey is maybe better known for working with the likes of D’Angelo, Lalah Hathaway, Anderson Paak and Brian McKnight among others but on his debut album ‘Love Life Live’ he shows that he’s a talent as a front man too. The Don Blackman/D’Angelo groove of ‘Pop My Toes’ is a great, low slung funker, the chilled out ‘Heaven’ again shows D’Angelo influences but has that old school thread running throughout while the infectious ‘Special Lady’ is a modern soul gem. The slow tempo ‘LH’ has a sultry, languorous feel that really grows, the vintage, swinging groove of ‘Believe’ is coupled with a Curtis-esque falsetto and lyrics to match while the title track gets back to the bass lead funk of the opening track. Excellent stuff.
