Music reviews of Signature
Music Review: Signature - Much more than I anticipated
Rating: 5 Stars
Let me start off by saying I have been a fan of Joe's music since his career started. Joe has the distinction of actually being able to sing. His voice is smooth, velvety with a touch a passion to boot. Though this is his gift it has been his curse on some of his previous efforts. I say this because if the some of the production on the songs were alright because Joe can sing it sounded good. If the production was good he could make it sound great.
This album is head and shoulders better than his last 3 efforts and far better than most of the R&B on the market today. He wrote and produced most of the songs on this album which gave him better control. The great part about this album is the production, with the incorporation of strings and horns which is very refreshing. There are bass, guitar and horn solos throughout this album which are just mesmerizing. If you removed Joe's voice from the track the music would still rate a 6 from a neo soul/jazz. Adding Joe to the effort just made the album a instant classic.
1. Majic - Slow methodical introduction with heavy bass line - 8
2. Sex Girl - Similar heavy bass line with Joe and his classic sultry voice intertwined - 9
3. Very Special Friend - Checkout the 2nd stanza at the 1:32 mark and listen to the Joe and the guitar and how they are intertwined.
Listen the bridge with Joe, guitar and bass exchange licks. Listen to the strings and the horn arrangement at the very end and vocal. - 9
4. Friends Don't Let Friends - My favorite track, Listen to how Joe opens the song and the pace and emotion he is using. At the 2:00 mark listen to how he has taken it up one more level
Then comes the bridge at the 3:00 minute mark and listen to how he is begging. The 4 minute mark comes and he lets the musicians breathe on the track.
Listen to the bass player and Joe exchange adlibs. Joe groveling and the bass player egging him on. - 10
5. Worst Case Scenario - Joe at his best just sitting on the bar stool and making love to the music - 8
6. Wanna Be Your Lover - Listen to the background vocals on this track just amazing - 8
7. Miss My Baby - The funkiest I have heard Joe in a very long time....listen to how open the song with "Awe the Hell with it all...." Sounds like he was really going through something - 10
8. Come Get To This - The only song that Joe did not write but how could he go wrong with a Marvin Gaye track - 8
9. Metaphor - Heavy guitar laden track with Joe allowing the music to wash over him. - 9
10. Love's Greatest Episode - A powerfully arranged horn section with a strong rhythm section. Check out the last minute of the song with the horn section and Joe exchanging vibes - 9
11. Sensitive Lover - Had to borrow a little from R Kelly and add a Stepper track - 9
For those that have the album I want you to go back and listen to it in sections.
