Album Notes

In a genre that belongs to such crooners as Marvin Gaye, Curtis Mayfield, and Otis Redding, authenticity is a requirement. Over the years, many have imitated and borrowed from these artists, but when you come across the real thing, you recognize it instantly. Anduze is a soul artist to the core, no doubt about it. But it’s soul done his way…a modern brand that seems to reflect the diversity of his island upbringing. His myriad of influences is so vast that it leaves critics unable to deem him directly comparable to anyone else, a refreshing antidote for today’s derivative music world.
The album, entitled "Closure", weaves the listener through the nuances of a relationship gone awry. That being said, it's not your typical sappy break up record. For the most part, the tone and tempo of the songs gleam with hope and the projection of moving forward. Anduze's sultry voice resonates with a sympathetic confidence that leaves a unique impression. Using beautifully crafted lyrics, each song tells a story that reels us in for an up close and personal look at the artist...and at times ourselves. The subject matter is relatable, like a conversation with someone where you find yourself not speaking because you agree with everything being said.
Finding "closure" is not easy, we all know that. But as he searches for his, Anduze also manages to inspire us to look for ours in whatever capacity we may need it...proof that music truly can be life changing when it comes from the soul.
