Pure soul music, that popular, hip-shaking genre launched in the great Motown/Stax era of the '60s, has long been a staple of the musical lexicon. Soul music's dynamic concoction of Southern-based gospel, driving horns, insistent organ, a fat backbeat and colossal bass grooves - is lovingly revived in the youthful persona of the New Voice of Soul, RICKY FANTÉ.
Fanté, a 25-year-old southeast Washington, D.C. native, is a rarity in a world populated by vocalists stamped out in today's clinical, computerized music production system. His gritty, infectiously heartfelt vocals are so infused with the spirit and verve of a soul legend - the likes of Sam Cooke, Eddie Floyd, Otis Redding and Al Green - that, on first listen to his impressively crafted Virgin debut, REWIND, a familiar light immediately clicks on. REWIND is a refreshing venture that is far more than a nostalgic trip down Memory Lane. In fact, the album leaves the listener recognizing that emotional, brilliant soul music is still very much a reality.
