Reviewed by Steve Hayes With their first salvo at the mainstream veterans Grits produce a well polished and highly produced album with an outstanding mix of styles and flavas. Right from the off with "Sky May Fall" we have a cracking track with a pop-edged R&B number, with beautiful vocal hooks and positive message. There are a number of well-positioned guest appearances. In the arpeggiated synth-based "Fly Away", Grits give props to their mom, talk about their journey towards God, "Man, God got his hand on your life, so he gave you a gift and the mic." There is a unique sound in "Dusk To Dawn", using a mix of reversed kick drum and vocal effects. The album nicely uses the vocoded "Cher-effect" style on some vocals, such as in the very smooth and rolling "I Run". In "Beautiful Morning" we have a powerful guest performance from the inimitable Pigeon John. With two such talented artists and smooth lyricists in Coffee and Bonafide, "Walking My Way" is a romantic, downtempo mellow crunk roller with some nice lyricism, as is the soulful, soul-filled throwback, fiddle-infused "Something About It". "Reminds Me" is a banging club track with a dance, synthy pop-edge which demonstrates the agility of Grits in delivery and creativity. We do have some classic Grits stuff though, the banging "Get Started" is a winner, with its bouncing crunk-edge. More from GritsSee all...
