Distorted Soul Reviews
Detroit-based
singer/guitarist NADIR and his band Distorted Soul
have won great critical praise over the past year with their debut album, which
is newly released as Distorted Soul 2.0.
The praise is well deserved, as this is absolutely infectious urban rock, calling
to mind the better moments of artists from Ernie Isley to Lenny Kravitz. The
band is top notch and NADIR’s growling vocals are strong
throughout. Lyrically the disc is somewhat uneven, with the disc at its best
on the more political songs. The music, however, is stunning – there are
at least a half dozen potential hits. The major labels should be all over this
album, as should fans of gutsy R&B and rock. Recommended.
