Six-track EP from LA’s Roquel Rodriguez, the vibe here is very much in the early 80s boogie/soul beat ballad vein. The slick, classy ‘Don’t Be Afraid’ is a laid back groover, ‘Talk of This Town’ is a more urgent dancer that has touches of classic club soul while ‘Sophisticated Lady’ is a funker that draws on influences from Prince to Chaka Khan. ‘Before It’s Too Late’ is a great socio-political observation set to a tough, almost soundtrack backing while the lush ballad ‘You’ve Got Me’ is a stunning slowie. Great stuff!
