Soul power

"Soul may be Harding's strong suit, but he's not afraid to rock out on "The Drive" and "I Don't Wanna Go Home" (guitars do dominate these arrangements), and the engineering and production gives these tracks a natural, spacious sound that flatters Harding and the band equally. Having worked with OutKast and Cee Lo Green, Curtis Harding knows something about soul music in the present as well as the past tense, and Soul Power is music that honors the rich traditions of classic R&B while keeping its head and heart in the here and now".

"Med albumtitlen udstikker han en kurs i retning af bl. a. den bevidste soulmusiks storhedstid i 1960' erne og 1970' erne med mandlige kunstnere som Otis Redding, Curtis Mayfield og Marvin Gaye. Det er farligt at pege i den retning, fordi forventningerne automatisk skrues i vejret ... Hvis pladen virkelig skulle have skilt sig ud, burde produktionerne have stået stærkere med mere tyngde, fylde og melodiøsitet".
