A brash bass-weighty track, May 10, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
A brash bass-weighty track, posturing on the street corners of the genre - check out `Little Boy'. A positive confession is here with `Declaration - This Is It, affirming the faint'. A pensive ballad makes a show with `Help Me Believe'. Oh, and a churchy piano ballad features in `He Will Supply'. And with the above mentioned songs all done by track 7, you'll know it's definitely Kirk. He is now well established as the elder statesman in his field and there's a sincerity and maturity that exceeds previous recent albums. And I do sense a more powerful anointing, especially in the lyrics department.
I do like `How It Used To Be' though it sounds strangely familiar. `I Am God' is on the crossover rock tip. `It Would Take All Day' is sweet enough but not as tasty as `Still In Love' with a 1980s feel, reminiscent of the innocent funk cuts made for radio. The jazz/gospel slow-mo `Chains' sits well in either foreground or background. And throughout the album Kirk's spoken vocals are kept fairly low and are helpfully unobtrusive to proceedings.
Yes, there are several flags that shout `Franklin' at us but this is an extension of the fare one might expect of him. There are some new pointers and ideas, all backed up lyrically and sprinkled with a dusting of sincerity. This is Kirk taking a step back and letting his girlie choir get on with it, with results.
