Paul Hardcastle - Hardcastle Old School 2

Review by Ray Kooyenga

Paul Hardcastle's latest album, Hardcastle Old School 2, is a masterful blend of smooth jazz and old school R&B. The album features a variety of talented musicians and vocalists, each contributing their unique style and energy to the mix.

The album's opening track, "Summer Love," sets the tone with its catchy melody and upbeat rhythm. From there, the album takes listeners on a journey through a variety of musical styles, from the funky grooves of "Soulful Eyes" to the soulful balladry of "Love Is a Power."

Throughout the album, Hardcastle's signature sound is present, with his smooth saxophone solos and jazzy keyboard riffs adding depth and texture to each track. The vocal performances are equally impressive, with standout moments including the sultry duet on "Love's Calling" and the powerful vocals on "Happy Go Lucky."
