Free Music Notes for Sensual Journey
Free Music Review: Finally!
Hit: 5 Stars
Finally Mr. Downing did it. "Sensual Journey" is the album I have been waiting Will to record for years, the jewel of the crown among many shining diamonds this wonderful bariton has been giving us during his brilliant musical journey.The hype is justified here: just sit down and relax, let the flow of smooth jazz, soul and passion catch you, feel the vibe, fly away with the beauty of the arrangements and the clarity of the sound of this superb cd.
Michael Jackson's oldie "I can't help it" (penned by the great Stevie Wonder) is covered with chocolate and cream, a delicious piece of art; the original was beautiful, but even Mr. Jackson will agree this is heaven. The other covers in the album are "Just don't wanna be lonely" and Ephraim Lewis "Drowning in your eyes" : they're new and already a classic at the same time.
Will voice purrs and sways and dance over the notes of Gerald Albright, Lee Ritenour, Boney James, Marcus Miller, it's supported by Vesta, Phil Perry, Kashif, and leaves you at the end with a sensation of complete peace.
The final cut "Bolero Nova" it's my favourite, with its samba flare and its simple melody is an instant standard to be performed again for the years to come by (hopefully)many other artists. But I also adore "Don't talk to me like that" with a faboulos jazzy scat solo by Vinx, "Brooklyn breezes", "If I ever lose this even"... To cut a long story short, there's not a single bad song here.
Thank you Mr. Downing for making a real good record. I knew you were great, but I didn't expect greatness going so far this time. Come on guys, don't let the charts ignore this smooth, flawless, sensual masterpiece!
Sensual Journey Poster
Will Downing moves to a new label and takes romance to new heights on Sensual Journey. The dynamic singer/songwriter and producer is joined by a stellar constellation of musical stars on 11 inspired ballads that will warm even the coldest heart. Downing's proven composing skills are again at their best on such heartfelt tunes as "Home," "Almost Like Being in Love," and "Maybe," to attest to his ability to tell a great story. Best bets are the radio friendly "Cool Water" and"Can't Help It," which present Downing's sophisticated baritone vocals in undiscovered arrangements. Another emphatic arrangement is the mellifluous approach to Brenda Russell's "Don't You Talk to Me Like That," which features Vinx's unique scatting and Downing's one-of-a-kind interpretation of a very personal matter. Despite its title, it is one of the prettiest tunes on the CD because of Stefon Harris' sensitive vibraphone solo. As the CD closes, Will Downing takes his listeners from Brooklyn to the Caribbean via the inspired "Brooklyn Breezes" -- which he co-penned with Kashif -- and "Bolero Nova," a slow, sentimental bolero done with a modern spin. Downing definitely captures the essence of contemporary jazz, classic R&B-soul singing, and the Latin tinge on this excellent recording of his vocal mastery. And so another theme, another concept for the continuing journey into Downing's vast repertory. However, these 11 stories of love with their beautiful harmonies and lush melodies set Sensual Journey apart from his previous efforts because of the splendid musical accompaniment and variety of gorgeous ballads. -All Music GuideBlues Music CDs
