So we reviewed Israel Houghton’s new CD, The Power of One recently here and here and here on the Joint. If you remember, yours truly wasn’t a big fan. However, today the video for I Just Wanna Say dropped over @loswhit ’s Ragamuffin Soul blog and after we crashed his site, I got a chance to watch it.
I’ll tell you, for all my criticism of Israel, the guy makes up for it in energy and feel. I think the only thing that ‘bothers’ me about it is the camera angle of him on the drums and bass. It makes him look like a little guy. (Unless of course, he really is a little guy, to which, I apologize profusely.)
So check it out!
and whats wrong with little guys?
I was wondering what you thought of this video after having read your review. LOL!
I liked it, too. I think I’m gonna download the album and give it a chance. I’m not a HUGE R&B fan, but like to groove to good music of any genre.
The album that has been blowing me away recently is Tonex’s “Unspoken” (http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewAlbum?id=307277731&s=143441). Ever hear his stuff? My jaw just drops to the floor at his creativity and vocal skills. CRAZY!!! My favorite track of the moment is “Bring It”; give it a listen and tell me what you think.
Oh I still stand by my review. I dare you to dispute my criticism of content, especially on this song
Hahaha.
I’m heading over to check out Tonex now!
Man, that was hot. My fave part is where the lady jumps out of the barber chair.
