Description

It should come as no surprise that Melky Sedeck, a duo comprised of Wyclef Jean's young sister and brother, are heavily reminiscent of the Fugees, or any of the Refugge Camp side-projects. It isn't a matter of the music being in the blood, or any other silly cliche — it's a matter of a shared sensibility. Melky Sedeck are coming from the same vantage point as their brother and Lauryn Hill, blending a variety of styles — hip-hop, reggae, soul, gospel, pop — into a colorful, multi-cultural sound. While they're not as accomplished at this stage as Jean, Hill or the Fugees, Melkymore… Sedeck have fashioned an appealing debut with Sister & Brother. It's true that the music feels like a smoothed-out variation on The Score and the solo efforts by Wyclef and Hill, but Sedeck's music is strong, even when the grooves are mellow. More importantly, Melky is a terrific singer, blessed with a rich, generous voice that is convincing on every track, even a misconceived cover of "To Sir, With Love." To some, it may be a disappointment that the album isn't radically different from the Fugees, but when faced with a debut this promising, it seems churlish to complain.
