    Bradley effectively draws you in with his voice and leaves you deep in thought with Changes, all the while grooving back and forth.

    The production is unpolished, warm and organic. It had to be. When you hear the pained fury in his rendition of Black Sabbath's Changes, it's clear it would be an affront to modernize Bradley's unvarnished howls.

    More of the same then, maybe, but if it sounds this rich, just keep ’em coming Charles. Dues paid.

    Changes shows Bradley still has plenty of new ground to explore at the age of 68.

    Ultimately the Screaming Eagle of Soul continues to soar, and despite all of the changes, the reasons to fall for Charles Bradley remain constant.

    Changes’ lyrics are immediately and sometimes overly familiar, but Bradley’s unmistakable voice is the obvious draw throughout.
  7. 60
    Bradley makes more like Al Green than Brown, mobilising a kind of weary, vintage warmth as he repeatedly tackles heartbreak in the company of the Daptone Horns.

    The album is very good, as perfect songs and a Justin stage help in this work of art in a positive way
