terrence parker (TP) is 1 of detriots finest musicians,keeping very busy - composing, producing,spinning the HOTEST music, running a couple of labels and in general- infusing the detriot scene with his positive energies. although this isnt his best album do not miss out on this 1 if u r intu the deep spiritual emotional side of detriot house. i have this album for a long time, and i keep coming back to it. this is elevating house music at its best

I love Terrence Parker's work. Most of what I already have is either earlier soulful house side projects or his equally fun work with Seven Grand Housing Authority. He is one of those artists that definitely has a way with chords and song structures that makes your body move while tugging at your heartstrings a little. I bought this album expecting much the same. However, I was surprised to discover that this has a more introspective and possibly autobiographical feel to it. The tracks are mostly downtempo (80-100 bpm I think), but the feel is still his, especially on the piano driven slow burner "Real Love". It's a good example of how you can take very few elements and make a track significant enough to rival more multi-layered efforts. If you like the feel of house music, but prefer your tempo at more of a hip-hop speed, you should buy this album.
