At last here’s a record, which doesn’t make you feel embarrassed to admit that – god forbid – you actually like songs. It’s beautifully sung by Paris Brightledge whose emotive delivery and thoughtful words are done justice by Marshall Jefferson’s creative use pumping bass, cutting strings and tasteful piano. An Instrumental is also supplied just in case there was any doubt but either way this is exceptionally good. And I didn’t even have to mention the word soulful once.
