Description

It's hard to believe that Heartfelt is the seventh Fourplay album. It seems that the group tried so hard to duplicate the commercial success of their first three albums that they sleepwalked through the next three. Now freed from the corporate culture of the monolith of a record company they once answered to, the supergroup has re-energised and finally, after 10 years, surpassed the artistic success of their marvellous self-titled debut. As if some of their smooth jazz slickness has been worn away, Heartfelt actually shows there are some hard edges to the group. Oh sure, Harvey Mason's "That'smore… The Time", Larry Carton's "Rollin'" and Nathan East's "Let's Make Love" may find their way to radio and help push album sales, but on many of the tracks, including two they wrote collectively ("Galaxia" and "Café L'Amour"), there's a bit too much sizzle for radio. Carlton has really settled into the group and he actually has some burning guitar solos that will also never be heard on staid airwaves. On a couple of tracks, Bob James echoes his very popular 70s keyboard sound, especially on "Break It Out", which is very reminiscent of his classic "Westchester Lady". --Mark Ruffin
