On the footprints of Ashford and Simpson or Womack and Womack, husband-and-wife duo, Fatin Dantzler and Aja Graydon from Philly release their third set, which is a reiteration of their love for each of other and Soul music.
The album is titled after the arrival of their twin children.
It is quality mainly mid and down tempo Soul /R&B love songs, with great harmonies.
"Can't Help It" is a really great beat ballad that gets better each time you hear it.
"Alright" and "Pressure" are mid tempos with good grooves.
"Just The Way You Are" is a melodic mid tempo, "Rightfully So" and "No Limit" are excellent beat ballads.
"Love We Share" is a mid tempo with a fuller sound, "House Of Love" and R&B ballad and the spoken word "Always Be Arriving", featuring Malik Yusef gives an interesting take on "Rocking You Eternally".
Critically acclaimed as the next big thing coming from Philly after Jill Scott, Bilal, Musiq or Vivian Green, the duo is similar in vibe to their second set, but it is their debut "Surrender To Love" that remains one of the greatest albums of the 00's.
Just listen to the twelve songs of the album and surrender to the freshness and the soulfulness of their latest offering.
There's a great deal of positive energy, creativity, warmth, sincerity in this album.
The soulful duo offer a journey in their everyday life as a couple and ordinary people. The lyrics are full of poetry and honesty, the voices incredibely soulful and they are supported by an admirable band.
This album takes a couple of plays to fully appreciate but is worth the effort.
You will like it.
The album debuts at # 7 of The Billboard Top R&B/Hip Hop Albums and at # 67 of The Billboard 200.
In This Life Together
Surrender to Love

Since first I listen to Jill Scott I love her from the start but wanted more so I explore in her independent label Hidden Beach and found Kindred The Family of Soul. Their duets are always so perfect in this neo-soul genre that it's their 3rd album and still amazed. Great CD for neo-soul fans and if looking for something nice too listen buy this CD.

I heard one of the songs on the radio and had to buy the album. The album is wonderful!

We listened to this cd for weeks. Not listening to anything else. Even though I got it a little later than planned, I got it. And I am one that truly appreciates their thoughts and their struggle. I will continue to be one of their biggest fans, and will be getting their newest one soon. Keep making GOOOOOD music, that especially speaks to two who truly love each and support each other through it all.

An impressive third release!!!!! Kindred never fails to impress me with their brilliant songwriting and very positive messeges. Whether you are married(like I am) or single, If you listen to Kindred's music you are treated to an almost "text book" way of holding on to your relationship and supporting and loving and paying attention to your better half, all while dealing with this crazy world that we live, work and play in.My favorite cuts from the first listen are "House Of Love" which celebrates the houseold lifestyle we all lead and the love that it brings.(I also love this first sigle of the cd because the music reminds me of Mary J's "Be Without You"...) and my next favorites cut is funky and fun "Set Free" ,teling us that we should all free ourselfs from this crazy world(not kill ourselfs,lol)and just set your own course in life and be ourselves and not be followers.(and ,of course, I really love it because it reminds me of Knarls Barkey's "Crazy") I think this should be the next single and video by the way. Overall, I think this is another 5-star cd from Kindred the Family Soul!!!!!!

I LOVE me some Kindred. Saw them in concert this summer and enjoyed them. I have listened to this CD twice and I am not into it. I liked their 1st the best and the 2nd was smooth. I expected even better songs on this one. I am just not feeling like their other works.

There are no words for this album...Kindred the Family Soul has done it again!! I recommend that anyone who is a fan of REAL music buy "The Arrival" because it's a breath of fresh air. Thank you Kindred for making music that heals...

See, now, this band gets it. You can do soul music without sounding dusty and being slavishly reverential to styles that stopped selling records 30 years ago. They are genuinely soul, but not dated. Truly original, with nods to the legacy they stand on musically.

KTFS is a group that has always had the chops: songwriting,playing, singing...they really are the complete package. They're very sure of themselves, what they want to say, and stand as a grand testimony to what radio should sound like.

This record is on par with their previous albums, which I also recommend for anyone who likes R&B of any period. I could have done without the two poetry interludes (not because they're poetry, but because they're trite poetry; I know some poets who would KILL with this band behind them) and overall I think I still like the second album best, but this one comes highly recommended.

Kindred & The Family Soul The Arrival Love Them Love their sound Love this c.d Please support real soul music by true artist. Kindred never disappoints. Fatin Dantzler & Aja Graydon has done it again bring real music to their fans.

You gotta love this couple and their awesome talent! True to the recipe they keep making it hotter and better...oh not just their relationship, their music is the reference here. Love it! Love it! Love it!!!
