Music reviews of Evolver (Deluxe)
Music Review: Ready to Go Right Now
Rating: 3 Stars
Oh how I wanted this album to be a great one. I never expect masterpieces;that word is bandied about far too much anything. Being one of those people who really appreciate and loved John's send up of 70's funky soul onOnce Again it was an extension on this direction,whether it be toward fusion ,blues/rock or even disco-funk would've seemed logical. This is the same Legend/Kayne West collaboration that made the first two albums what they were. Meanwhile John's "evolution" was unexpected but wasn't particularly focused on his musical strenghs. The emphasis here is definately on a variation of British Two-step,which is very over done by this point much the same new jack swing was by about 1996. Not only that but the ballads that are here have...a very processed and static folk-rock flavor if you can imagine such a thing happening. That's not to say this album doesn't have a handfull of high quality songs. "Good Morning",a song that starts as an intro and continues later into an actual song that has this great rise n shine R&B feel with the nice touch of horns on the accent. The song "Greenlight",featuring Andre 3000 manages a good comobo of two step and 80's funk with Andre hillariously noting "even Stevie Wonder got down sometimes". The Kayne West collaboration "It's Over" is by far the funkiest thing on the album and very nimble with it's use of electronics. This naked funk send up was a wonderful possible direction for the rest of the album but it wasn't quite that way. With the exception of the equally wonderful duet with Brandy on "Quickly" and the epic modern people music of "If You're Not There" a lot of this album,up and down tempo is lacking in a certain vitality and spark. Considering this includes a bonus disk about the making of this album I can tell a lot went into making this and perhaps that was the problem. "Satisfaction" and "Everybody Knows",while very good songs seemed as if they were third and fourth guessed and some labored elements of the production make it clear if your doing something soulful and funky,it does'nt have the proper effect if everything is overworked. I will not condemn John Legend for trying some new ideas and,considering how obviously inspired by Jeff Buckly he is the rockier direction in some of this production is not surprising. At the same time a looser feel might've better benifited the intentions a little bit better. John's persona is elegant but not stiff and,considering he's only on his third album and is due a somewhat less powerful one the future still has a lot of brightness in it for John Legend.
