The long-awaited follow-up
to Rebel Souljahz debut album Nothing To Hide has finally
arrived and it was well worth
the wait.
Bring Back The Days is
jam-packed with 13
all-original songs that blow
the doors off of of any
preconceived notion that
Rebel Souljahz might be
just a “Jawaiian” party band.
Rebel Souljahz has matured,
having distilled their creative
talents into a finely-tuned
vocal group capable of
offering a strong variety
of musical styles and messages.
Rather than take the easy
way out and repeat the
musical formula of their
previous CD, the group
chose to move forward,
pushing the boundaries
of their writing, raising the
bar on their singing and
also working closely with
producer/arranger Imua
Garza to come up
with a powerful and
varied musical statement.
The title track, “Bring Back
The Days”, kicks things off
with its infectious Reggae
/R&B rhythm, strong lead
vocals from Michael Maglinti
and Will Su’a and a
powerful middle section
from Andrew“Ragga
Bubba” Hodges.
A message that threads
its way through the project
is commitment and the
power of being in a strong
relationship with the topic
of marriage even coming
up in the songs “Be My
Wife”, “I Do”, and “She’s
Mine”.
The boys from Katchafire
make a powerful contribution
to the song “Slow Down”, a
track with a steady rockin’
groove, a catchy horn line
from Katchafire’s Jamey
Ferguson, and a splendid
blend of vocal performances
from all four members
of Rebel Souljahz along
with Logan Bell and Leon
Davey from Katchafire.
“She’s Mine” is a sincere
tip-of-the-hat to 1970s soul
music, and in particular the
“buddy” song, and features
playful dialog throughout
between Mike and Will who
trade off lead vocal duties
on the verses.
The tender acoustic ballad
“Take A Look In My Eyes”,
with its emotional vocal
performance and strong
harmonies, shows yet
another side of
Rebel Souljahz.
Bring Back The Days will be
in-stores on November 23rd.
