Description
Gregory Porters sophomore effort, Be Good confirms the talent that was so apparent on his debut. Hes developed greater technique and subtlety in his impressive singing. The 70s soul is still quite apparent in his voice, and hes becoming a major talent not just as a singer but also as a composer, with a unique, elliptical style for both melodies and lyrics. He keeps his soul/blues credentials alive with a version of Work Song that allows him to go full-throated against some honking sax. To finish, theres an a cappella version of God Bless the Child, a song forever associated with Billie Holiday. Its a daring move, and a superb climax to a disc that should certainly help Porters star rise even further. ~ Chris Nickson
