Drawing comparisons to groundbreaking artists like Jason Kay
- frontman for Jamiraquoi - and discovered by multi-talented
superstar Pras, Dante Thomas exudes the wisdom of sub-'70's
old school soul with the young-gun swagger of the new breed
of R&B singers taking over pop. On Fly, the first album for
Pras' appropriately named Rat Pack label, Dante's hypnotic
vocal style wraps itself around intricate rhythms and
sonically tethered basslines carefully sculpted by sought
after producer Vada Nobles (Lauryn Hill).
Destined to become one of the 'essential' albums of 2001,
the disc also relies on the 23 year old singer's gift for
interpreting a lyric, as he imbues songs like Miss
California, and the title track Fly, with the kind of
charismatic depth that only the best R&B singers possess.
"When I was younger I was always listening to Stevie Wonder,
Donnie Hathaway, singers like that," says Dante. "I had this
friend who was also into music. One day he told me: 'You
want to sing like those cats? Go listen to what they listen
to. Then you'll be a singer.'"
