Free Music Notes for This Journey in
Free Music Review: Soul music's jam band
Hit: 3 Stars
Atlanta natives and a growing number of others will recognize the compliment and the comparison when I say that The Rebirth reminds me a great deal of Seek. Subtle, moving vocals over a very organic and musically adept band all combined with a hard to place, vaguely spacey feel. Noelle Scaggs has the kind of voice that you can listen to all night without being blown away and yet simultaneously have absolutely no desire to go anywhere else.
The Rebirth is essential summer mood music. Songs like "Stay Away" make you feel good in the same way that it's always harder to be down when the sun is shining. It's sunroof open and windows down music. It's dance in the living room with your sweetie music.
The band has a Sweetback-type funk to it. The grooves are solid and the instrumentation tight, but there's nothing that might threaten to take the spotlight off the collective output. There are no wild solos, nothing to draw attention to individual players. It's playing for the sake of the audience. Songs like "Shake It", "Got Your Madness", and "This Journey In" are demonstrations of The Rebirth's ability to create an atmosphere where their audiences can enjoy themselves. It's not necessarily about the audience singing along, it's about the experience.
This Journey in Poster
On this compelling new 11-track album recorded in the band's hometown, The Rebirth matches its musical vitality with a gift for lucid poetry and songwriting, creating a rich sound built on an organic blend of new and traditional soul, hip-hop, jazz, and funk. These elements make the group's music both highly progressive and a throwback to the classic soul bands like: Earth, Wind & Fire, Ramp, Pleasure, Rotary Connection, Side Effect and Roy Ayers. Over the last few years, The Rebirth has celebrated the successes of several smashing singles: "This Journey In," "Every Body Say Yeah," "Got Your Madness," and their critically acclaimed cover of The Might Ryders' "Evil Vibrations." The release of "This Journey In" quickly garnered airplay on radio stations from Los Angeles to the U.K. and Japan, and appeared on numerous CD's including: King Britt's Black to the Future, Gilles Peterson's Trust the DJ 9 and the Norman Jay MBE compilation entitled Giant 45. In addition, Gilles Peterson included the song on his list of "20 Best in 2003" and Norman Jay called it, "The anthem of the summer 2003." Poignant tracks that appear on This Journey In include "Shake It," a catchy mid-tempo jam that encourages one to feel uninhibited about getting out to the dance floor to simply let loose and enjoy the moment; the smooth dance song, with a funky base line, "Stray Away"; "Common Ends," an uplifting track that talks about the experiences in life that unifies people; and the funky, disco-Brazilianinspired song, "Talking Me Down," plus many other stellar compositions. The most recent release, "Evil Vibrations," was recorded exclusively for Ubiquity Records to appear on its innovative compilation, Rewind! 4. The result was a high-energy, textured sound in the original retro style that included some new lyrics, mixed with De La Soul's version of the classic track. Nominated for "Song of the Year" at Gilles Peterson's Worldwide Awards and concluding in 2004 at #6 on his playlist, "Evil Vibrations," continues to gain accolades for the group as one of the US' most promising neo-soul collectives. "A fabulous CD and a contender for album of the year!!" - Blues & Soul (London) "Evil Vibrations" & "This Journey In" named Gilles Peterson's Top 5 All Winners List 2003 & 2004 "The Rebirth explores the space between soul, ambient and jazz with refined musicianship to spare. Tight music. Period." - The Urban Network "...a storm of jazzy live action out of LA....solid R&B tinged tracks that remind us of the good old days of The Brand New Heavies and Jamiroquai's first albums and the original Giant Step parties...lots of thick, layered vocals mixed with inner city heat." - URB MagazineBlues Music CDs
