UK multi-instrumental singer-songwriter Christian Gregory already a 2014 SoulTracks Readers’ Choice Award nominee for Best New Artist on the strength of his must-have debut EP, Count On You. While original songs like the funky soul pop title track and the Prince flavored ballad “Won’t Get Nowhere” has gotten the SoulTracks spotlight, now is Gregory’s chance to prove he can tackle some of yesterday’s more modern classics too.
It’s fitting that D’Angelo would be the Movement Records’ star’s first major foray into covers territory, given the perfect placement of that Richmond, Virginia star’s vocals in Gregory’s sweet, sandy-voiced spot. Awash in golden splendor and done with acoustic simplicity, check out Christian Gregory’s take on D’Angelo’s “Untitled,” one of the last gems we received from a young master in his creative prime. On Gregory’s sincere tongue “How Does It Feel?”
