Reuben James Feat. Sophie Faith, Jay Prince & CARRTOONS [2021] - Closer [Rufio Records]


Another Global Soul breaker which starts off with so much potential but acquiesces to the requisite rap which may appeal to the 'kids' but is a turn-off for soul aficionados. A three and a half minute track spoilt by a 30 second rap at 1:30! Call me old fashioned, a traditionalist or a purist, but to me, rap has no place in real soul music. It adds nothing to the song in my view, in fact to the contrary in this instance, it interrupts the flow as you are settling into an otherwise good groove.

Reuben James is an emerging Birmingham, UK singer, songwriter and pianist who co-wrote one of the songs ("Him") on Sam Smith's multi-million selling album "The Thrill Of It All".  He debuted in 2019 with the critically acclaimed EP "Adore".
