Muziek - Haven T You Heard
Haven T You Heard
Nu slechts
€ 16,50
It's quite appropriate that Paul Laurence's second Capitol album was titled Underexposed because that's exactly what he was as a singer: underexposed. That isn't to say that Laurence wasn't commercially successful in other areas of the music industry; as a producer/songwriter, he built an impressive résumé that included major hits for Freddie Jackson, Evelyn ''Champagne'' King, Melba Moore, Stephanie Mills, Lillo Thomas, and others. But Laurence's own albums were not big sellers, and that includes his first album, Haven't You Heard. Originally released on LP by Capitol in 1985 and reissued on CD by Funky Town Grooves in 2011, Haven't You Heard is an R&B outing with rock and synth pop influences. Laurence takes a very hands-on approach; in addition to producing Haven't You Heard and writing or co-writing all of the material, he plays keyboards and various synthesizers. So this album is an honest reflection of what Laurence had to offer in the mid-'80s, and the songs lack the generic, knee-jerk quality that plagued so much of the radio-driven R&B of that era. In fact, Haven't You Heard is excellent. ''She's Not a Sleaze'' (which features Jackson and Thomas), ''Racism!!!,'' ''Strung Out,'' and ''There Ain't Nothin' (Like Your Lovin')'' are superior synth-funk jams, and the melancholy title track (not to be confused with Patrice Rushen's 1979 hit) is a perfect example of romantic R&B with a rock edge. Romantic themes dominate Haven't You Heard, but Laurence ventures into social commentary with ''Strung Out'' and ''Racism!!!''. In 1985, social and political commentary wasn't hard to find in hip-hop, but it was far from plentiful in mid-?80s R&B, and Laurence should be applauded for his willingness to tackle such subjects. It should be noted that Funky Town Grooves' 65-minute CD version of Haven't You Heard contains four bonus tracks, including extended mixes of ''She's Not a Sleaze'' and ''Strung Out''; also, Funky Town Grooves offers new liner notes by Kevin L. Goins in addition to Nelson George's original liner notes from 1985. The Brooklyn-based label gives Haven't You Heard the respect it deserves, which is a good thing, because this album is definitely among the overlooked jewels of mid-'80s R&B. ~ Alex Henderson
