Review

Gregory Porter's third studio album, "Liquid Spirit," released in 2013, is a sumptuous blend of jazz, soul, and R&B, showcasing his breathtaking vocal talents and emotive prowess. This collection of songs dives deep into themes of love, social commentary, and personal reflection, all accentuated by Porter's lush baritone voice. The title track, "Liquid Spirit," stands out with its infectious melody and uplifting lyrics, wrapped in a lively rhythm section and resonant horn arrangements. Its message of hope and rejuvenation is nothing short of contagious, inspiring listeners to embrace a spirit of renewal.

Among other noteworthy tracks, "No Love Dying" unfurls as a tender ballad, revealing Porter's vocal vulnerability with graceful sincerity. "Musical Genocide" takes a bold stance against the commercialization of music, delivering a sharp critique wrapped in soulful tones. Porter also delivers a stunning rendition of the jazz standard, "I Fall in Love Too Easily," rendering it with such delicate sensitivity that it feels like a soft caress. Under the polished production of Brian Bacchus, Porter's voice shines brilliantly, earning "Liquid Spirit" the Grammy Award for Best Jazz Vocal Album in 2014. This remarkable album is a testament to Porter's evolution as an artist, offering a musical experience that is both accessible and profoundly touching. - Violet
