With two solid albums already under his belt – Time To Grow and Dedicated – as well as two Brits, two Mobos and over 1.5 million album sales, UK vocalist Lemar has already earned his place as one of the UK's most adroit soul singers. Yet The Truth About Love, Lemar's third album, is even more of an accomplished work than its predecessors. Taking an old-school production approach - one producer (Brian Rawling), one band, one orchestra, one horn section and one mix engineer (Manny "Kanye West, Alicia Keys" Marroquin) - Lemar has recreated his classic soul sound more poignantly than ever, as evidenced by

With two solid albums already under his belt – Time To Grow and Dedicated – as well as two Brits, two Mobos and over 1.5 million album sales, UK vocalist Lemar has already earned his place as one of the UK's most adroit soul singers. Yet The Truth About Love, Lemar's third album, is even more of an accomplished work than its predecessors. Taking an old-school production approach - one producer (Brian Rawling), one band, one orchestra, one horn section and one mix engineer (Manny "Kanye West, Alicia Keys" Marroquin) - Lemar has recreated his classic soul sound more poignantly than ever, as evidenced by the infectious lead single "It's Not That Easy". Elsewhere he offers Sam Cooke style doo-wop ("Tick Tock"), heartfelt balladry ("Can't Live Without Each Others Love"), contemporary r & b ("Can't You See" feat. Styles P and Mica Paris), and a light-as-a-bubble, Motown style duet with Joss Stone, titled "Anniversary". Unlike The Lighthouse Family, Simon Webbe and others of that ilk, Lemar doesn't compromise his sound to the point of sterility. With its nostalgic songwriting, high caliber of musicianship, and Lemar's infectiously smooth, yet mature sounding voice, The Truth About Love is quite the modern classic.--Danny McKenna
