Heaven & Earth - Can I (Longshot Sessions - The Soul Of R&B)
Probaby the first 'stepper' album that had major UK soul scene attention in 2005, with this moody and magnificent Marvin Gaye style groover being the popular choice from what is a very very strong soul album. Totally recommended.

“The Longshot Sessions - A Steppin’ Odyssey” it says on the tin. And talking of tin, before you run off and put on that tin hat after the deluge of “steppin’” we’ve had since Robert Kelly Esq introduced us to the genre, let me tell you that this is a cut above a good proportion of what’s gone before. The album isn’t particularly new, but it’s proved pretty elusive, mainly due to demand I think, so it’s took me until now to get to telling you about it. Out of Chicago, this is jam packed with superior quality contemporary soul music with an acceptable urban edge. Key cut for me, and big on the dance floor, is the Heaven & Earth track “Can I”. A striding bass heavy groove with wicked lead and harmony background vocals, this cut is large!! More dance floor friendly grooves come in the shape of “I Got Yo’ Back” and the haunting mid-tempo “Spin Me”, featuring Dick Fowler who comes over all Kenny Burke like. Taking the tempo down, we have the wonderful “This Time I’m Gonna Be Sweeter” with lead vocals from Dean Williams. Also appearing on a couple of cuts is Marzette Griffith……remember his album from a couple of years back? All writing, arrangement and production on the album is from Dick Fowler and Keith Stewart, clearly a duo to keep an eye out for in the future. This album is an absolute must-have, being choc full of winners!! Acquire
