Free Music Notes for No Place Like Soul
Free Music Review: Real Soul
Hit: 4 Stars
My first Soulive experience was seeing them live at Bumpershoot the Seattle Music Fesival this past summer and since then I've been a fan. Granted, I hadn't heard them before the addition of Toussaint (who I think is great) I thought they were amazing. So I picked up this album and was more than pleased. I later found out that they had a ton of other albums minus Toussaint and they are awesome as well. I think you just to have to take it for what it is. I think most of the people leaving poor reviews on here are just bitter that its not what they were expecting from them. I suggest picking it up.
No Place Like Soul Poster
The recently revived Stax label initiates its first release of new music with the appropriately named Soulive. The band's fifth studio effort, and first with a full-time vocalist, both solidifies and scatters the group's sound. By not utilizing high-profile guest vocalists, the focus is back on songs as opposed to the jazz-oriented jams of the past. Recent addition Toussaint acquits himself well, singing with old-school energy and passion that meshes with the group's similar slant. But it comes at the expense of the skin-tight Crusaders-styled approach, once a staple of Soulive's sound. A few instrumentals, such as the rather plodding "Bubble" and the Stevie Ray Vaughan-inspired "Outrage," allow the guys to flex their considerable chops, yet this is clearly the act's most controlled, song-oriented effort yet. Toussaint goes falsetto loverman on the syrupy closing ballad "Kim," but the album coheres most effectively when Soulive hit a mid-tempo groove, as on "Callin'," the opening Sly Stone heavy funk-rock of "Waterfall," and the handclap-driven title track. Toussaint's reggae roots emerge on "If This World Was a Song" and his dusky voice is also a terrific match for the grinding funk of "Morning Light." Most of the improvisational jazz the threesome built their reputation on is MIA, which is particularly noticeable in Neal Evans's B3 keyboards moving to a supporting role. But Soulive take a step forward into the past on this retro excursion, and the impressive results should expand their audience--although possibly at the expense of some established fans drawn to the band's less structured material. --Hal HorowitzDance & DJ Music CDs
