Soul Renegades – Now Your Gonna Save Me – Restless Soul

Sometimes it’s good to return to the source as this spirited production from Soul Renegades aka Craig Smith (6th Borough Project) & Ricky Reid (True Rebels) seamlessly testifies. As the title implies this gospel referencing vocal sings passionately over infectious Jazz inflected piano along with a kicking rhythm track that is all about getting the message across. It’s the soulful energy of it all that carries the track over the course of some nine minutes while never pausing for breath. The Instrumental version works equally well which I guess only goes to highlight the resilience of these classic influences from decades past.
