"Love, Life & Soul" by Dane Riley (R&B Artist from Washington D.C.(DC))

"Love, Life & Soul" by Dane Riley is a funk, R&B album with a smooth and silky style. The songs are all upbeat and very danceable. The vocals are intimate with tremendous sex appeal. The style and quality of Dane's voice is very reminiscent of Prince. There is a delicacy about this classic 80's sound. Lots of classic synths. Overall it's a fun dance, party album. Highlights are "Together" with a soulful vocal performance, quirky arrangement and a thick beat. "I Am The DJ" features some cool rhythms and styles. "Lift You Up" is super funkified with a grooving bass line. If you enjoy Prince, give this excellent CD a listen.
