Bassist Darryl Anders releases his band’s much anticipated second album, a follow up to 2012 ‘Believe In Love’ and the wait was worth it. Real instruments, strong song writing and quality production mark ‘Conversations’ as one of the best of the year. The uplifting ‘Kite’ is a positive message song with a strong groove, ‘Changes’ has a strong soul-jazz flavour while the mid tempo bluesy beat ballad ‘The Lesson’ is another highlight. The funky ‘Fruitvale Gumbo’ has a bouncy New Orleans groove to it, ‘Think About It’ is another old school funker with vocals from Naté SoulSanger and a screaming killer organ line running in and out while ‘Sweet Sticky Thing’ features Graham Central Station singer Ashling Cole and the Snarky Puppy horns among others. The pacey ‘Conversations’ is a rapid fire, bustling early 80s inspired groove that wraps up a set that will please fans of funkier edged jazzy inspired soul. Great album.
