SAFM Related Soul And Funk Album Reviews (re-issues and new) New Album By Jonathan Butler So StrongNew Album By Jonathan Butler So Strong
| 2010 from the acclaimed guitarist and vocalist. So Strong is simply put- so strong! The first single (and title track) already made an impact at Urban Adult Contemporary and is a marvelous, hip slice of his powerful vocals over an infectious, driving rhythm. Smooth Jazz radio gets a taste too with the Benson-esque "Make Room for Me" and the inspirational "You Got to Believe Something" is a musical credo that won't let you down. So Strong- we hope you will agree- isn't just worth the wait, it's worth the weight in soul. "So Strong" is the 16th album by the famed South African-born singer/guitarist/songwriter/producer, whose music is often classified as R&B, jazz fusion or smooth jazz. Fans of Jonathan Butler will not be disappointed with the combination of smooth guitar led instrumentals like "Good Times" and "Make Room For Me", which has already reached # 20 on the Billboard Jazz Songs Chart. "I Pay Respect" is the most gentle of acoustic guitar instrumentals. The lilting "Color Green" and the upbeat "So Strong" are the pick of the vocal tracks, while "You Got To Believe In Something" has a languid fell to it. |
