K`Jon - I Get Around [8/4] *

Artist:

K`Jon

Description:

Recording information: The Disc LTD., Eastpointe, MI.
Photographer: Christian Lantry.
When K`Jon languorously croons "I`m finally gettin` around" on the title track of his 2009 debut slab I GET AROUND, he`s putting it lightly. Like Anthony Hamilton and so many others before him, the years of hustle pour out in the singer`s impassioned voice, and when he intones the near-cliche "I just want you so bad/it just seems so real" in the intro to the torch song "On The Ocean," there`s a hunger behind his words of desire giving them power.
An otherworldly `70s vibe pours out of K`Jon on the first half of I GET AROUND, a late-night AM radio tenor of passion and seduction and sex and discarded liquor bottles. His dabbles in the present are less fantastic, but he brings the past and present on "On Everything," a spare track which mixes a sinister, slightly chopped & screwed beat with a beautiful piano hook, and the perfect bedroom-eyed vocals, buoyed by the requisite guest rap (this time by Seven the General). K`Jon at his best combines the sensual prowess of Barry White with the sadness-in-struggle of Bill Withers, dropping a dash of deep soul into the heart of the auto-tune generation.
