Synopsis

Album Description

The tracks on DUSK crossover several genres: Pop, New Soul, and Hot Adult Contemporary. REUBEN's sound merges classic songwriting with modern production. The clarity of his songs and voice have been compared to early Stevie Wonder, Prince, and Joni Mitchell, while his sonic palette is a unique blend of electronic and acoustic elements reminiscent of Tricky, Bjork, and Radiohead.

"Before I heard this album I saw Reuben perform in New York, playing piano and singing writerly pop songs with an angelic white-soul voice. Charmed, I bought the album expecting the same, but was shocked and oddly thrilled to instead hear what sounded like the lovechild of Annie Lennox and Stevie Wonder staying up late nights with home recording equipment and lots of strong mint tea. It was the same gorgeous voice I'd heard live, but here were melodically dense pop soul songs built from crackling samples and drum loops, live instrument parts, soaring vocal harmonies and above all, a studied and singular musicality that made it all fit. Strange, familiar, beautifully imperfect, and refreshing. Like an old Motown 45rpm rolling down the sidewalks of the East Village. This album feels just lovely."
