4.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful Tunes About Rough Times & Ugly Circumstances, July 8, 2004

This review is from: Street Troubadour (Audio CD)

Andreus is one of R&B's most hidden talents. Street Troubadour is the most significant of new albums in recent times - possibly a stronger debut then Terence Trent D'Arby's '87 "Introducing The Hardline According.." The album contains elements of Maxwell, Prince, Lenny Kravitz, Jimi Hendrix, D'Angelo, Bob Marley, Marvin Gaye, and Curtis Mayfield. Andreus delivers his messages' in sweet harmonies, while backed by lush intrumentation - the production demands repeated plays. He attacks problems in the Ghetto - drugs, prostitution, police corruption, unwanted pregnancies, wife beating, guns, slum housing, hustling, abject poverty, and optimistic dreams of a better place - with his seductive croon and Marvin Gaye like delivery in "ooo's" and "woo's." The clocks are turned on such numbers as "Hustla's Theme" and "Bastard Child" - with the first possessed by swirling strings and the later by wah-wah guitars and driving percussions. Andreus is no forgery of classic soul. He's his own his own man with retro leanings - this is a 21st century release. One of the greatest debuts you'll ever see.

This review is from: Street Troubadour (Audio CD)

I've listen to this album and it touch the soul I'm one of those lost children of the gehtto. It is nice to finally to hear what really happens in the inner city, by some how has experinced it. This album will make you want to get up and take a stand to change the world for the young children of today so that they don't have to go through what we did in the seventies and still some today,you can have hope for a better tomorrow if we make. This brother is one of a kind how he tell a story of truth and reality and not of the bilng bling that you hear on the radio today. I hope he gets much love from the world and they listen and learn to what we(black people) and those in general have to say.
