    More than a patchy but occasionally brilliant album, Multiply is the whisper that the greatest soul music, rather than being trapped in our memories of times gone by, may yet play free in days to come.

    He really is pouring everything he has into the whole thing, but there's so much overly earnest, reverential, "let's get back to making real music" energy floating around that you can sense it nibbling away at the desire to make something that sounds like today.

    Very solid album. The single, Multiply, is definitely a highlight. One of the best tracks in a long time!

    Very creative, great combination on an album, but give it some time. It takes a little bit of time to grow on you.
