Possibly regarded as an oldie in some quarters as it's a whole two and a
half weeks old having been released on 6 Jan '23!
On face value you would think Kyle Jason was
a newcomer as only this latest album "The Right Place", and a previous single "I Picked This Flower For You" from July 2021 (which features on it), seem to be listed on digital
platforms.
However, his name seemed familiar somehow, I don't quite recall from
where, so I did some digging (which was somewhat problematic as many
results returned that well known deep soul duo Kylie & Jason!) and his
material dates back to 1997.
He's from Roosevelt, NY, and first emerged featuring on Chuck D's "Autobiography Of
Mistachuck" album in 1996, both on vocals and writer's credits. His debut
solo album "Generations" arrived in 1997 and he crops up on Bootsy Collins and Public
Enemy's albums the same year. It wasn't until 2007 that his sophomore album "Revolution Of The Cool" was delivered followed by "Sexelectric" in 2009. Whether he has released anything between 2009 and 2021 or not, I
couldn't find anything.
Now that's out of the way, to the album in hand. It's a very pleasant
smooth and mellow affair. Choice cuts for this listener are "I Picked This Flower For You", "Kissed", "Lay Back (And Love)" and "Something New" but it is one of those albums you can just leave playing as it's a
solid set throughout. Highly recommended.
