Title: I've got the Spirit!
Review: I really love this CD! I first saw Simmonds' video "I Can't Do That" on BET sometime in September, and something about it was memorable enough to file in my subconscious memory. It wasn't until a couple of weeks ago when I saw his performance on Soul Train that I decided to give him a shot by buying the CD.I never thought I'd get this hooked so fast! Most of the other reviews seem to draw parallels between Simmonds and Eric Benet, but his music reminds me more of an English Funk/R&B group called Level 42. The one thing that makes Simmonds music a real treat is the musicianship that's displayed on the record. You can actually hear strings, a real bass, and horns along with some electronic music elements.It's hard to pick a favorite track on the CD, but I really like the single, "I Can't Do That", and I also like "Universe". This CD really needs to be heard, but unfortunately, there are no music outlets in the U.S. for this kind of music on radio. (....)
