The album is a treasure trove of strong | | | | songwriting, live instrumentation and sparse production which | | | | proves that less really can actually be more. The only drawback | | | | to the album is that most of it is culled from his two previous, | | | | independently-released albums, but if you haven't heard his music | | | | yet, this serves as a nice introduction. | | | | | | | | Acey Duecy starts off a little slow, but it's not that the first | | | | three songs on the album are bad, it's just that they seem | | | | tailor-made to appeal to a wide audience. The songs - "Stop | | | | Playin'," "Something About You," (a remake of the mid-80s Level | | | | 42 song) and "Smoke One," all have big, catchy, simple hooks and | | | | the kind of Soulful melodies that you're likely to hear on any | | | | adult contemporary radio station in the U.S. It isn't until the | | | | fourth song, "Words," featuring India.Arie, that the album really | | | | starts to hit its stride. | | | | | | | | "Words" (stream the video here) is a soaring love song with | | | | vocals so lush they sound the the musical equivalent of a river | | | | of honey. The chemistry between the two singers is very good, | | | | which should come as no surprise, since the two are good friends, | | | | both live in Atlanta and they've collaborated in the past. | | | | Anthony, who sounds like a cross between the gritty Anthony | | | | Hamilton and the smooth Bill Withers, is even signed to Universal | | | | Republic through India's Soulbird Records. Along with "Words," | | | | another great duet on the album is "Lady," a slow-burning | | | | R&B/Soul ballad featuring Keisha Jackson, daughter of legendary | | | | singer Millie Jackson. On "Lady," which is about a man changing | | | | his bad ways after falling in love, and other songs on the album, | | | | Anthony's knack for strong songwriting shines through. Many of | | | | the songs on Acey Duecy, tell stories, and its on these stories | | | | where Anthony gets real. | | | | | | | | Tracklisting: | | | | | | | | 01.
