This review is from: Steppin Out (Audio CD)

Roshell Anderson's 1990-released CD "Steppin' Out" has a much more contemporary feel than its predecessor (1989's "Sweet N Sour Rhythm & Blues"). Slow-tempo ballads and mid-tempo numbers like "Twilight State", "Bodies Talking", "Passionate Transition" and the socio-conscious "Peace" and "Victim Of A System" all show that Anderson is a true disciple of Old School 1960s-'70s Soul but the overly-synthesized and electronic/programmed beats-based production and instrumentation both make the material sound dated and are not the best choice for backing a singer like Anderson (who obviously owes a huge stylistic debt to the likes of Al Green and Curtis Mayfield).
