J. Rawls has assembled the crème of the soul underground for a compilation which beautifully represents the fluidity between hip hop and jazz infused soul. Having honed his craft with his group the Lone Catalysts, J now confidently delves deep into vocal terrain. The result is a refreshing collection of surefire gems.
From the bittersweet sentiments of the wonderfully talented Eric Roberson ("Pleasure Before Pain"), to the apologetic ladies anthem performed by Middle Child ("Woman Enough to Say"), Jonell’s party anthem ("Miss You"), to Aloe Blacc’s Brazilian love affair ("Bailar"), The Essence of Soul has something for everyone.
