En dépit du confinement, le chanteur d’origine martiniquaise, Benjamin Duterde dit Ben l’Oncle Soul, n’a pas hésité à sortir en digital son 4ème album « Addicted to You ». Un album aux accents électro-pop, Rnb et aux rythmes plus contemporains fait de featurings et de duos, dont un avec I Am, signes de sa nouvelle identité musicale. Une mue qui n’affecte en rien son immense talent qu’éclaire encore cet album.
Lenny Williams’ new CD, Still in the Game, is a testament to his staying power. The 12-track album has a little something for everyone, from contemporary R&B to smooth jazz to down home blues. Actually, Still in the Game evolves from contemporary to old school, but still in a contemporary package, musically speaking. As with many independent albums released by legendary R&B artists, on Still in the Game the keyboard is used to replace horn arrangements, and all too often the drum program can take away from both the song and the artist. Those flaws aside, the album does grow on you as it progresses.
