Got a Story to Tell

by Thee Sacred Souls

Daptone Records newest stars are bringing a fresh set of tracks to the R&B ethos, sometimes carving a unique place for the band, sometimes being too generic and getting lost in the Daptone canon. If the music sounds too familiar, then you have to rely on your musicianship and lyricism to continue to grow. I do think that Thee Sacred Souls is achieving this with their sophomore release, but there's still room to grow, which will be a fun ride to take with them! They're extremely talented, and tracks like "In the Mirror", "Lucid Girl" and "Live for You" show you just that. This is a great album for some easy listening late at night and you can find a track for whatever you're going through. I was really wishing that "Running Away" would've made it on the record, but I'm not sure where it would've fit.
