Blaxploitation + falsetto crooner + grooves you won’t believe = funk-infused, baby-making music. From Curtis Mayfield smoothness to guitar-thumping, bass-pounding songs to a Streets-esque rap that seems doomed to fail but ends up winning you over, this album doesn’t disappoint. Either way, the Heavy have a sound that will slay you: powerful, delicate, deep, wide, and commanding. They’ve even managed to get some retro production sounds in there so this post-millennial CD sounds like a scratchy, fuzzy seventies record. This April, get ready to put the swagger back in your step.
