This album "I'm On Fire" by Hareston Clay slipped under the radar with it being
released on a Monday (15 Nov 2021). I was alerted to it earlier this week by my sparring
partner Roger 'Soulsorts' Williams but it got lost in the frantic Friday release rush. There are around half a dozen
cracking tracks and a few 'dodgy' retro 80s ones e.g. "Fresh Like The
Air" and a couple of others.
Focussing on the positive though the
standouts are in order of appearance "Never Settle For Less" (the clear 'killer' which sounds like it may have a Luther Vandross "Never Too Much" sample/riff in it?), "Stand Together", "This Marvelous Dream", "You're the One", "Never Want To Let You Go" and "Woman Of My Dreams". I'm also warming to "Fearless" which has more than a few strong hints of Curtis Mayfield's Superfly to these ears!
Hareston Clay is from Akron, OH, and debuted in 2014 as H. Clay with a single "Head Spinnin'". He's released around eight singles as Hareston Clay since then and this is his first album.
