CD Reviews

Supreme Soul
Joao Pedro Dias | Porto, Portugal | 04/30/2000
(5 out of 5 stars)

"I think this album rates among the best Soul albums of all time.Leon has a very silky voice and he sings with such a sensitivity that emotions immediatly pour through your skin. That's what Soul music is about, and Leon acts like the master he really is. Before listening to Leon ware's music I assotiated his name with Marvin Gaye, since he had been the producer of the historical "I want you" album. But, even if I was ignorant of that collaboration, listening to his music would always remind me of Marvin's, because it shares the same sensual and emotional depth, making me believe that Leon is Marvin's "alter ego". This album consists in 9 solid songs, blended with a touch of jazz, in wich the highlight is, in my opinion, the superb version of Minni Riperton's "inside my love", called here "inside your love". After listening to "inside is love", it's clear evidence that, besides from being a top quality producer and songwritter, Leon Ware is also a great singer. The only thing I didn't like in this album is that it only takes 36 minutes. Anyway Leon's music will last forever!"
Leon Ware is Genius

"I am a very big fan of Leon's work. He is so underrated, He is Genius. When it comes to Leon, it's who hasn't he worked with because many of the greats of R&B/Jazz have written with him or covered his tunes. By the way, whom ever wrote in the editioral section that Minnie Riperton later covered "Inside My Love" is wrong...Minnie, Richard Rudolph and Leon wrote this(and several other tunes) in 1975 and it's featured on Minnie's "Adventures In Paradise". It is an R&B Classic.... Leon did his version in 1979. Research before writing! :)"
