5.0 out of 5 stars Heavy D and who? Soul For Real!, July 31, 2004

By

This review is from: Candy Rain (Audio CD)

This is without question my favorite R&B album of all time. The debut album for the brothers Dalyrimple, alias Soul For Real, classicaly treads the line between smooth soul and catchy pop, in the tradition of the Jackson 5 and New Edition. The title track samples A Tribe Called Quest's classic "Check The Rhime"(the remix, found on the single, samples Heavy D's "You Ain't Seen Nothin' Yet"). Speaking of Heavy D, the production on the album is just right; not too boisterous and not so simple that it's boring. Though the youngest brother, Jason, is clearly the lead singer, he doesn't hog all the spotlight, check out Kevin on "Every Little Thing I Do, and Andre on "Spend The Night". They even do two cover tracks; Bill Withers 'Ain't No Sunshine" and Patti Labelle's "If You Only Knew". This was the perfect R&B album to compliment the resurgent East Coast hip hop scene of the mid-90's. Go get it!

4.0 out of 5 stars Solid Debut from a Sadly Overlooked Group., February 4, 2003

This review is from: Candy Rain (Audio CD)

More talented than B2K and more interesting than their bratty counterparts Immature (now IMX), Long Island's Soul for Real seemed poised to be the new Jackson Five. Like the boys from Gary, Indiana, Soul for Real (aka, the Dalyrimple brothers) sang hook-loaded r&b ditties with both innocence and charm. Their debut had two first-rate singles "Candy Rain" and "Every Little Thing I Do," along with midtempo jams "All in My Mind" and "If You Want It." On the ballad front, these young men held their own just as admirably, as shown in the 8-minute jam "I Don't Know." Unfortunately, their 15 minutes expired upon the release of their next album, the underrated "For Life." That's a shame because these guys had more to offer besides looks, guest rappers, and flashy wardrobes. If these upstart kiddie acts have any sense, they'll listen to this debut to see how teen r&b is done.
