Victor Haynes - Take It To The Top (2019) Hi Res

Veteran soul man Victor Haynes has enjoyed a long relationship Expansions, having first released on the long-serving UK label way back in 1993. "Take It To The Top" is his fourth album in total and first for five years. It contains 13 new songs penned by Haynes and produced by the artist in collaboration with Pete May. It's a typically smooth affair, with Haynes delivering effortlessly soulful vocals atop tracks that variously touch on classic soulful house ("Take It To The Top", "Strong Love"), jazz-funk ("Do I Qualify"), boogie ("Round & Round"), revivalist '60s soul ("My Sweetest Temptation"), seductive slow jams ("Giving My All To You") and acid jazz (the Incognito-ish Latin shuffle of "Help Me feel The Sun").
