Phil Perry - One Heart, One Love (CD)

All Music Guide

"I've worked hard all day," the fifth song opines, "I just wanna relax/Take my shoes offkick my feet up/Put on an old Marvin Gaye track…" A unwise antecedent to invoke, for over the course of ten pleasantly Peabo'd urban soul slices, Mr. Perry shoots to the vocal stratosphere from his own backyard armed with one neat trick the women singers who taggrab his glissandos like stagetwo rockets after he falls away from them for an apogee, of, perhaps, the shoulder blade of the supine mountain range that is Marvin. Marvin will never move again. Marvin can not hold Mr. Perry in the hollow of his hand.
