Lewis Taylor's second album, Lewis II, finds the complex R&B maverick in exceptional form. Although often compared to Marvin Gaye--it's the swoops and honeyed falsetto--Taylor's music gently slips and slides between classic soul, symphonic pop, funk, and psychedelic rock. That said, the subject matter of this album has much in common with Gaye's controversial album Here, My Dear: not only is every song an impassioned lament to an estranged lover, but Taylor has that uncanny knack of making self-pity sound utterly gorgeous. Taylor has shelved the widescreen soul of his eponymous 1996 debut in favor of a quirky London-centric brand of wah-wah guitars, brass, and achingly beautiful funk. Surprisingly, for an album that reputedly took three years to make, there are no fillers--just 11 tracks of knockout future classics. From the sweet rare groove of the opener "Party" to the elegiac epic "Blue Eyes," Lewis II resonates with thoughtful melodies and dreamy determination. Like D'Angelo, another multi-instrumentalist with one foot in the past, Taylor is unrepentantly retro: his "Never Be My Woman" will appeal to fans of Voodoo. But his cover of indie poster boy Jeff Buckley's "Everybody Here Wants You" is a heroic effort to convert the original's understated feel into something grandiose. Lewis II is diverse, melodic, and inspired. Let's hope others will follow Taylor's example. --Na'solo So Fahed
