Cool Uncle

"With a little self-editing, Cool Uncle could yet deliver an album of AOR that could rival Motta's in terms of 21st century revivalism. Until then, Cool Uncle offers a tantalizing glimpse of what could be".

"This release, coupled with solid 2015 output from acts like The Foreign Exchange, Dawn Richard, Estelle, Kelela and others, serve as a solid reminder that R&B is big and vital enough right now these days to contain multitudes: Soundcloud divas, alt-R&B weirdos, returning legends like Janet, pubescent lotharios, minimalist bleep-bloop-ass whisper-singers, and beyond. Being an R&B fan right now means never having to settle for one kind of record, or one sound. When one year gives you so many different options, a fun record that doesn't take itself seriously like Cool Uncle feels like icing".
