Exceptional
Carl Thomas delivers a powerful debut that rivals long standing R&B contenders such as Jaheim's Ghetto Love and Maxwell's Urban Hang Suite. Initially signed to Bad Boy records this singer is a cross between the raw huskiness of John Legend and Jaheim's soulfulness, with a sprinkle of old school Motown swagger. The album eases into it's signature track, and gets more soulful and heartfelt as the album progresses. Every song on this album is carefully mastered, written and recorded capturing the very essence of this soul singer's voice, lyrics and emotions. The songs on the album essentially fulfil the album's title, earning the title of a modern day classic. Money well spent.
