Human

A sleek pivot toward contemporary R&B and polished urban soul. The iconic gravelly voice remains, but the setting is pure early-2000s studio sheen.

It's Rod Stewart trying on a sleek R&B suit, and surprisingly, the gravel still works with the groove.

A polished, late-night urban soul record that trades rock grit for smooth romanticism.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The surprising R&B shuffle of the title track where the grit of the vocals meets a sleek drum machine loop.
The lush, gospel-tinged backing vocals that swell during the final chorus of Soul on Soul.
The way the acoustic guitar finally cuts through the synth layers on the bridge of Smitten.
