Familiar, yet completely original. They're creating the new cliches, and leave their fellow musicians baffled and asking, "Why didn't I think of that first?" The album pulls you in with heavy bass lines that give even the god-fathers of funk (Mother's Finest, Ohio Players, Earth Wind and Fire, and yes, even some Police- - not exactly funk..) a serious run for their money. The creative, and driving guitar riffs remind me a bit of Vernon Reed. That, my friends, is a GREAT thing. Listen to it if you're going out with friends. Listen to it if you're staying in with a certain someone. Verdict? All in all, everyone should experience the sexy, raw sound that is Gbanjah. Listener unworthy. www.jessicaurick.com - www.jessicaurick.com
