Vocalist has always evinced a love of '70s and '80s disco, funk, and soul in his decidedly electronic-based dance music. Essential Readings In World Politics 4th Edition Notes On Guitar more. His 2008 debut showcased plenty of -meets--sounding cuts, including the single, 'Black and Gold,' which featured 's deep, resonant baritone croon over pulsing synths like some lost Studio 54-era anthem. Takes this love of classic dance club music even further on his superb 2013 sophomore album,.
While retaining his knack for immediately catchy pop hooks, has crafted a more organic, less electronic-minded (though there is still some of that here, too) album full of real drums, keyboards, organs, guitars, horns, and strings. Essentially, this is groove-oriented R&B, immaculately produced with a disco and house music purist's ear for period details. Tracks like the steamy opener 'Paradise People,' and the absolutely jubilant, '90s house music-sounding 'Happiness' are infectious club moments that grab your ears as much as they do your feet.
Having a great voice and a big personality never hurts when it comes to effusive dance music, and in this way, also succeeds. With a subtle gospel inflection and just enough vocal melisma when it's required, imbues each of these songs with an intensity, passion, and palpable love that shines through even when he's singing about heartbreak and negativity, as on the ballad 'I Wish I Never Met You.' There is also a bit of camp, of course, in the presentation of some songs, with even casting himself as a future space diva awaiting his return to help save the earth from androids who've waged what he calls 'Robogeddon' on the title track. Whether the song is really a metaphor for his move away from electronic dance music and rediscovery of organic, live instrumentation, or literally a plea to save the earth's ecology, makes us believe. In that sense, isn't just an album about a time when music made us groove in the refracted disco ball light of Studio 54 or the Paradise Garage. Its about how funky, soulful music and a positive attitude can help us recapture our best selves and make a paradise out of the present. As he sings on 'Happiness,' 'I can feel the world spinning round.
Do you feel it?
Mmm If the fish swam out of the ocean And grew legs and they started walking And the apes climbed down from the trees And grew tall and they started talking And the stars fell out of the sky And my tears rolled into the ocean And now I'm looking for a reason why You even set my world into motion 'Cause if you're not really here Then the stars don't even matter Now I'm filled to the top with fear That it's all just a bunch of matter 'Cause if you're not really there Then I don't wanna be either I wanna be next to you Black and gold, black and gold, black and gold.
