Why can’t you just love me?” The last track is a funkier track called ‘It Ain't Over’. Evident throughout the album are the clever melodies and quality of the musicians. Marcell and his group is a band, you know would put on quite a show if you saw them live. This studio produced, sensitive album is trying to make sense of life and religion and is like a soothing balm in a world full of deep cuts" -Tracey Cope [Just Soul] |
