All the promise of his debut comes true on Aloe Blacc's sophomore release, Good Things, a vintage sound meets modern problems release with a way too modest title. Right from the opening "I Need a Dollar" -- which could be passed off as unreleased Bill Withers, no problem -- the album offers grand things, providing listeners with that solid, but not polarizing, style of social commentary Withers perfected. On the following cut, positivity is pushed ("Something special happened today/I got green lights all the way") in a manner that's far from sugary, but this singer who offers such warmth and humility on his smooth soul tracks is well aware of sin, and can get slinky in a Al Green style when warning against loose women on "Hey Brother." An even better example of this is his cover of the Velvet Underground's "Femme Fatale," which becomes much more than a clever choice, thanks to a convincing performance that suggests he's been there. The organic production, real horns and all, is left up entirely to the Truth & Soul Productions crew (Jeff Dynamite and Leon Michels) but Blacc's delivery is less traditional with phrasing and some slang left over from when he was a 24-7 rapper. Anyone with a taste for neo-soul should try Good Things unique flavor. It comes on familiar and comfortable and becomes more rich and rewarding with every return visit.

近年はCradleど組んだユニット=Beeとしても活動するなど、特にシンガーとしての豊かな音楽性を多方面で開花させている、ストーンズ・スロウの偉才アロー・ブラック。今回はブルックリンのファンク・レーベル、トゥルース&ソウルの核とも言えるジェフ・ダイナマイトとレオン・ミシェルズを迎え、ボビー・ウォマック+ナールズ・バークレイあたりを彷彿とさせるアーシーなモダン・ソウルを展開している。サザン・ソウル調からシビレルファンキー・チューン、70年代風のド渋ソングまで、スモーキーかつ素朴なホロ苦ヴォイスで余裕たっぷりに歌い上げ、ヴェルヴェット・アンダーグラウンド”Femme Fatale”という名曲カヴァーも粋な仕上がり。現代のヴィンテージ・ソウルを再認識させる貴重な逸品だ。
