Recent Reviews:
In a time when the music industry has grown too smart for itself, when radio is filled with overproduced, mechanical songs that are more about attitude than music, a casual listener would be led to believe that organic soul music no longer existed. And that's what makes an album like Hopes Too High that much more special. Sounding like they simply grabbed their instruments in a club and started playing, Marcell & the Truth deliver a stunning set of songs here that are equally inspired and inspiring. The group effecively mixes elements of jazz, soul and blues, sounding like the rightful heirs of Frankie Beverly and Maze, but with slightly rougher edges. And while the disc consists mostly of midtempo numbers and relatively simple arrangements, it never sounds repetitive or stale. To the contrary, the simplicity makes it more effective, allowing a bluesy guitar riff or a mournful organ note to alone carry the moment, and bringing even more attention to the fourteen excellent compositions that comprise Hopes Too High. Kudos to producer Teddy Douglas, who makes all the right moves in matching musical moods to lyrical content, from the innocent vocal harmonies of the title cut to the almost eerie tension (reminiscent of the the Dramatics' "In the Rain") underlying the break-up song "Maybe I'm Not the Man" to the joyous build-up throughout the standout track "Time Stops."

There will be many more popular and more critically trumpeted albums in 2007 than Hopes Too High, but it will be tough to find many that are better. This is a nearly timeless disc that would have been as notable in 1977 as it is in 2007. But by any measure, it is a keeper -- as are Marcell & the Truth. Very highly recommended.

-Chris Rizik Soultracks.com USA

"a brand new name and band to me for 2006, this is definitely an album that should be investigated immediately!!"

-Roger Williams- Solarradio.com UK

".. but in honesty I kept coming back to "Hopes Too High" it's just one of those great recordings that only real soul people connect with, I guess you are so this is for you - honest."

-Bill Buckley - Blues and Soul Magazine UK

"Frontman, Marcell Russell, a soulful brother filled with southern hospitality hit the center of the floor .. to show what he is really made of and why so many are loudly whispering about Marcell & the Truth, the group of the year!"

-The VueScene USA

Marcell and the Truth are setting ablaze the New York soul scene with breath taking and awe-inspiring performances. The Truth turned out to be a group of young men with talent way beyond their years.

On this week's Cornfed's Corner: we share an intimate moment with future icon, Marcell Russell of the band Marcell and The Truth; and offer our usual assortment of notes, gossip, and 12 "new" tunes worth your gas money. One worthy of those sacred coins is the Missy-produced debut single, "Need U Bad," for the much-buzzed Jazmine Sullivan (more on Jazzie next week!). So, grab a chip, a chair and get corn-fed. Intimate Moments on IM: Marcell Russell of Marcell and the Truth Marcell and the Truth (M&TT) is a Baltimore-based soul band whose 2007 critically acclaimed debut, Hopes Too High, went on to be a cult classic, one nominated for multiple SoulTracks Awards. M&TT's dedication to classic music has sparked some high hopes for their forthcoming sophomore project and the future sustainability of bands in soul. Having experienced them in concert, I think MTT is this generation's answer to Frankie Beverly and Maze, but with a more socio-political twist. Come eavesdrop for a spell on my intimate moment with M&TT frontman, Marcell Russell.
