Love Has No Recession

Genres: R&B;/Soul Released: Jul 26, 2011 2011 Shanachie There is just something special about Kindred the Family Soul. Sure we get to hear numerous love song duets from some of our favorite soul artists but the fact that these two are actually in love, and not just pretending, adds a little something extra to their music. On Love Has No Recession, the duo's fourth album, their tried-and-tested formula takes a bit of a different route, still dealing with love in all its' infinite glory, but also dealing with more social and political themes -- apt given the times we find ourselves in. The album opens with an immensely funky instrumental and then we are thrown in at the deep end, so to speak, on the Ursula Rucker assisted "Above Water Part 1," the first of three "Above Water" interludes that deal with the financial difficulties we are all currently facing. Rucker's powerful delivery combined with Fatin's husky growl sets the scene perfectly and acts a great introduction to "We All Will Know," which features Raheem DeVaughn in fine, if fleeting, form. Opening with the refrain "It's spiralling outta control, what's gonna happen when the cops aint been paid and they're forced to patrol and every man for himself got a gun, so God bless our souls," the track goes on to detail the difficulties faced by society when the money is running low. While it may all sound a little depressing there is a real sense of hopefulness in their delivery. 01. The Sheddington (Intro) 02. Above Water (Part 1) Ft. Ursula Rucker 03. We All Will Know Ft.
