"&lt;wm:embed type=\"related\"&gt;&lt;/wm:embed&gt;&lt;p&gt;The solo debut from the afro&amp;apos;d &lt;a href=\"http://www.rollingstone.com/music/artists/the-strokes\"&gt;Strokes&lt;/a&gt; guitarist banks on a shaggy, freewheeling sound and a deadpan sexiness that sounds pretty, um, Strokesy. Hammond doesn&amp;apos;t out-write his band &amp;#x2013; several songs here get vague &amp;#x2013; but &lt;em&gt;Yours to Keep&lt;/em&gt; is more expansive than the Strokes, and sweeter: The opener, &amp;quot;Cartoon Music for Superheroes,&amp;quot; is a seductive &lt;a href=\"http://www.rollingstone.com/music/artists/beach-boys\"&gt;Beach Boys&lt;/a&gt; update complete with angelic harmonies; the slyly catchy &amp;quot;Bright Young Thing&amp;quot; sounds like a Seventies soft-rock hit sped up and fuzzed out; and &amp;quot;Holiday&amp;quot; is a jangly let&amp;apos;s-run-away love song, with props to Jamaica. He gets vocal help from Sean Lennon, &lt;a href=\"http://www.rollingstone.com/music/artists/ben-kweller\"&gt;Ben Kweller&lt;/a&gt; and lead Stroke Julian Casablancas, but Hammond&amp;apos;s ragged croon jumps between heartfelt and cool, and it carries most of these songs. Put it this way: If he stays solo, he&amp;apos;ll have a better career than Graham Coxon.&lt;/p&gt;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
