Greyboy - Soul Mosaic

Greyboy's first release in three years, \"Soul Mosaic\" is pitched as \"a case study in beats, soul and funk\". This album is a little less than I expected - after hearing \"Got to be a love\" I was expecting the album as a whole to be similarily soulful, but it seems this stand-out track isn't really representative of the album as a whole.

So, the rest is pretty reasonable, but at times manages to sound (i'm sure I will get laughed at for this comparison) like a rough-edged Money Mark. The production is pretty sharp but generally I find it a bit edgy for my tastes...

To get back to the point, this review is unfairly corrupted by my disappointment at not getting an album filled with Sharon Jones vocals. It'll likely grow on me in time (and there'll probably be an addendum in the comments for this review in a couple of months) but for now, i'm wishing i'd spent that tenner on something by Quantic - since I think that would be a smoother introduction to Ubiquity Records.
