Album: Fortitude
Artist: Fortitude
Label: Word
Sounds like: smoooth R&B

There are some pleasurable muzaky moments on Fortitude’s R&B debut. Among the velvet harmonies and fluttering melodies you’d expect from such a quartet are cocktail piano, cascading keys, muted horns and jazzy little guitar licks. Some songs are like Guy Sebastian ballads. Some are like the soundtracks to eighties TV shows like Moonlighting. In Fortitude’s world, gentlemen dress in their finest threads and open the door for ladies, there are plenty of mood lamps and the diners are open very late.
