SINGER REGGIE'S TAKING IT BACK TO THE 80'S.. Simplified soul?INTERVIEW. - New Nation

"a marriage of the electronic possibilities suggested by artists like New Order with the soul and funk of Al Green or Stevie Wonder... Moments of sheer pop simplicity are balanced by moodier passages. On this album and in a recent Japan tour with Soulive, Watts-like his British counterpart LKO- is suggesting new avenues for soul that take it in a less commercial direction than the hip-hop influenced approach of current chart-toppers such as Usher." - Metropolise

"Quite simply one of the best nu-soul sets I've heard in the last 18 months " - Blues & Soul
