NATHANIEL MAYER
Detroit high-energy soul, sleazy RnB, ass-shaker numbers, shout out choruses, scorching organs. This is urban soul at its best. Sure, there are some horns and some keyboards, but the music takes a backseat to Mayer's charismatic vocal persona. High energy dominates the opener, "I Wanna Dance With You", you can hear the sweat pouring off Mayer as he sings. The surprise of the album comes in the second slot, as Mayer does a swinging, hard, nasty version of John Lennon's "I Found Out". It nearly lurches out of control several times, but Mayer manages to reign the whole glorious mess back in. It's one of three covers on the album, meaning that seven of the 10 songs are fresh originals from Mayer. "Satisfied Fool", one of the other covers, is loaded with horns and Farfisa organ. "I'm in Love" is the most upbeat ballad you'll ever experience in the soul genre. "Leave Me Alone" is a pure ass-shaker, complete with guitar solo and an infectious shout-out chorus that takes forever to fade out. "You Gotta Work" sounds like Mayer outwrestled Peter Wolf for the mic to sing on what could be a missing J. Geils Band tune. The last cover, "From Now On", is straight-ahead soul. "Stick It or Lick It" is Mayer at his most playful; "You are the One" is a true soul ballad, ratcheted down to slow-dancing speed. Lastly, "What's Your Name" is Mayer's attempt to throw a little bit of rock into the mix. There is life in Detroit soul after Motown! "I Just Want to be Held" is an exciting record that will move one's body, mind, and of course, soul."
