Love & Consequences
: :Although similar in musical content and creative vocal approach to his previous solo outings, Gerald Levert's Love & Consequences finds the artist in a more mature space lyrically. Absent is the familiar bump-and-grind rhetoric, replaced with more thoughtful love-and-relationship themes. 'No Man's Land' is a sobering track that deals with the headier problems of the world, while 'Humble Me' is an apologetic cut in which Levert explores the age-old adage that what goes around, comes around--but with a father-son twist. 'Thinkin' About It' rings with a contemporary, radio-friendly sheen but digs deeper lyrically ...

The Funk Box
: :Of course The Funk Box is kick-ass party music--put 'Sex Machine,' 'Brick House,' 'One Nation Under a Groove' and 'Hollywood Swinging' in the same set, and that pretty much goes without saying. But its chronological survey of funk's evolution through the '70s also frames the dialectical struggle between the music's two main schools--the James Brown style (hard, sharp, built around drum-and-guitar polyrhythms) and the P-Funk style (goofy, squishy, putting all its weight behind ultraheavy bass)--along with the way both schools dealt with the emergence of disco. The set also reveals how the party-time ...

Stardust
: :If Natalie Cole didn't have a famous father, would anyone listen to her stylish but safe renditions of 40-year-old standards? Well, the devotees of the genre would, for Cole has a light, satiny voice with marvelous fluidity. What she doesn't have is much of a bottom range or a hard edge, and she lacks the boldness to radically alter famous songs. Stardust, returns to the proven formula of 1991's Unforgettable, which sold 9 million copies and won seven Grammies. Once again, the engineers create a vocal duet between the dead father and the ...

The Master 1961-1984
: essential recording:The cover shot for this four-disc box is a floating image of hands outstretched, desperate to touch 'The Master'--a suggestion that might be blasphemous if this weren't Marvin Gaye, one of the most impassioned, visionary, and masterful singers who ever lived, and one who inspired intense devotion among his millions of fans. The Master reveres Gaye with 89 selections, 32 of them hits, including classic solo recordings from 'Hitch Hike' and 'I Heard It Through The Grapevine' to the stunning 'What's Goin' On' and 'Sexual Healing,' not to mention a 'The ...
