If Words Were Flowers [Red Vinyl] (LP)
Curtis Harding
Amoeba Review
A bright star in the current soul revival, Curtis Harding truly delivers on his new album, If Words Were Flowers. The sound here is a colorful patchwork of vintage-meets-modern styles, which means fascinating tracks like “So Low” with its subtle auto-tune and modern vocal phrasing contrasted with retro electronic whirring. “With You” is hauntingly beautiful with understated vocals and ‘60s pop strings and guitar, while “Hopeful” - a centerpiece here - wraps Harding’s heartfelt rapping in classic soul with funky bass and gospel-style backing vocals.
