"Soul Rock" by Kofy Brown (Soul/Rock Artist from California (CA))

On the latest album, titled "Soul Rock," Kofy Brown delves into funk rock fused with blues. This album has a nice variety of tempo shifts and back beats that show the artistic abilities this group has to offer. Vocals flow confidently and with rhythmic style. Grooving bass lines build up the body rocking funk on "Lost Child," as the strings and guitar compliment the dance beat style. A slow, walking blues progression really brings out the soulful feel on "Greedy People." Listeners will be able to feel the emotions poured out from the lead vocals that are deep and low, while the harmonies layer with solid support. For those who are fans of Lenny Kravitz and Cat Power, "Soul Rock" by Kofy Brown is an album well worth listening to and should definitely be checked out.

"The Magic of You" by Movin Melvin Brown (Soul/Urban Artist from Texas (TX))

"The Magic of You" by Movin Melvin Brown is a mix of adult contemporary and R&B pop music. Through his lyrics, Brown conveys a message for all of mankind that there is freedom and justice for all. "I Have a Dream (Obama Dream Theme Song)" is saturated with an artistic poetic narrative of equality and abolishing separation throughout the world. The title track has a catchy progressive bass line, organ with a Leslie speaker effect, and heartfelt lyrics. Take note of the harmonies on "A Way to Love You" as they compliment the uplifting and spirited lead vocal. "Communication" is a clever song about a very relevant topic. The instruments on each song are never overpowering, and are harmonious to each other. "The Magic of You" is a CD well worth hearing especially if you're a fan of Stevie Wonder or Ray Charles.

"In the Beginning..." by Zakben (R&B Artist from Georgia(GA))

In his debut album "In the Beginning…," Zakben launches a spiritual collection of songs filled with rhythm & blues/funk forms. The production of this album is well-presented with a consistent and clever mix of funk and spiritual talent. Vocals are distinctive and sung with crisp clarity, which balances the unity and chemistry between the musicians. Reflecting on his heritage, Zakben sings his well-composed lyrics with sincere and heartfelt tribulations of better times. "12tribes" and "We Are the One" are upbeat songs with a funk style guitar and energetic bass beats. Zakben exhibits his versatility with "Sweetmanna," which brings the tempo down a little to a slower style of rhythm & blues and steady, solid drums. "In the Beginning…." by Zakben will appeal to fans of spiritual-inspired R&B and is one album listeners should definitely take a listen to.
