| | Anthony David's major-label debut, Acey Duecy (released in the | |
| | U.S. on June 24, 2008) is a good old-fashioned bluesy Soul album | |
| | that once again gives credence to the theory that Atlanta is the | |
| | current home for the most creative R&B and Soul music being made | |
| | in America today. The album is a treasure trove of strong | |
| | songwriting, live instrumentation and sparse production which | |
| | proves that less really can actually be more. The only drawback | |
| | to the album is that most of it is culled from his two previous, | |
| | independently-released albums, but if you haven't heard his music | |
| | yet, this serves as a nice introduction. | |
| | | |
| | Acey Duecy starts off a little slow, but it's not that the first | |
| | three songs on the album are bad, it's just that they seem | |
| | tailor-made to appeal to a wide audience. The songs - "Stop | |
| | Playin'," "Something About You," (a remake of the mid-80s Level | |
| | 42 song) and "Smoke One," all have big, catchy, simple hooks and | |
| | the kind of Soulful melodies that you're likely to hear on any | |
| | adult contemporary radio station in the U.S. It isn't until the | |
| | fourth song, "Words," featuring India.Arie, that the album really | |
| | starts to hit its stride. | |
| | | |
| | "Words" (stream the video here) is a soaring love song with | |
| | vocals so lush they sound the the musical equivalent of a river | |
| | of honey. The chemistry between the two singers is very good, | |
| | which should come as no surprise, since the two are good friends, | |
| | both live in Atlanta and they've collaborated in the past. | |
| | Anthony, who sounds like a cross between the gritty Anthony | |
| | Hamilton and the smooth Bill Withers, is even signed to Universal | |
| | Republic through India's Soulbird Records. Along with "Words," | |
| | another great duet on the album is "Lady," a slow-burning | |
| | R&B/Soul ballad featuring Keisha Jackson, daughter of legendary | |
| | singer Millie Jackson. On "Lady," which is about a man changing | |
| | his bad ways after falling in love, and other songs on the album, | |
| | Anthony's knack for strong songwriting shines through. Many of | |
| | the songs on Acey Duecy, tell stories, and its on these stories | |
| | where Anthony gets real. | |
