"Ken has outdone himself on his latest project, which was created innovatively and interactively through his website, www.kennavarro.com . LOVE COLOURED SOUL contains no compromises...no filler...it's quality we've come to expect from Ken Navarro's guitar-work and production standards, but now even more evolved and nuanced. He's been a part of this music genre since before it was even called Smooth Jazz, and if anyone knows how to hit the mark in this format, it's Ken Navarro. The music on LOVE COLOURED SOUL is consistently solid from the first note to the last of eight compelling originals and two well-chosen and beautifully crafted covers (Laura Nyro's "Stoned Soul Picnic" and John Klemmer's lovely "Glass Dolphins"). Of the originals, "You Are Everything" has that Smooth Jazz hit sound to it, with Ken's signature guitar sound starring in a beautifully produced setting. Ditto for "You Did It Again" (with the addition of Rob Holmes' tasty soprano sax work) and the compellingly rhythmic "Breathe." This is another superb collection of radio-friendly hits that will gain a healthy share of air time throughout the coming new year. If you're already a Ken Navarro fan, as I am, and own some, if not all, of Ken's other 15 albums...his new one is a no-brainer. If you have yet to own a Ken Navarro album, then you need to start someplace. LOVE COLOURED SOUL is unquestionably that place! ~Scott O'Brien

Absorbing and engaging album!

"Ken Navarro achieved a particular place among his enormous discography with this special smooth jazz music box. The formidable arrangements and engaging lyrics make of this album an original proposal at the moment to decide oneself to acquire a smooth jazz album with imagination and refined taste.

"Not bad.... not bad. But not really something I'd run out to the store for if I heard any one of those songs somewhere on the radio. Solid musical work, nice arrangements - just very, very predictable and not awfully original. Doesn't even come close to Ken's "Island life" album."
