The Love Anthology CD

With its lighter, breezier feel and an increased focus on vocals and piano, The Love Anthology serves as a bright reflection of the gritty, downhome blues of Love Transcends. Take “Crush,” where an 80s funk rhythm combines with vintage R&B keys and organ before culminating in an irresistible layered vocal chant that recalls The Beatles and ELO. “Destruct” pairs disco guitar a la Diana Ross’s “I’m Coming Out” with the kind of funky stomp George Clinton would appreciate, while “Connection” goes full neo-soul, with jazzy piano chords and trippy electronic percussion.

Single disc, 18 track album with original art by Christina Venson.
