This silky jazz/pop/R&B debut from vocalist Lori King Still In Love has more than promise. It has a strong presence, great vocals, great arrangements, and never a moment when you can’t find that sexy, smoky jazz element setting atop this otherwise R&B-dominated album.

 

As lovely as her voice, this new light in our jazz house will be most welcome with her strong, sassy, and often bluesy style. This is a voice that truly calls, convinces, and motivates.

 

Combining great intonation, intensity, soul, some blues grittiness with a bit of that rock power, and plain ol’ good melodies will get this artist much attention. Of that, I have little doubt.

 

While there are no rough-and-tumble funky groovers, you will absolutely either fall in love with or take serious note of King’s soul-deep intensity on high-steppin’ tracks like “Lovin’ You Lovin’ Me” and the rousing cover of Stevie Wonder’s classic “Signed, Sealed, Delivered.” Combine that with the mid-tempo lead track “Unexpected” with its swagger and “Love Is Waiting” along with all of the swaying, sexy numbers that set that romantic table of love like the beautiful “In Time,” the pop-influenced title track, and Bread’s “Make it With You,” and you’ve got all you need. Yeah, there’s plenty here to get the love groove in the house.

 

With Michael Powell on guitar and Al Turner handling the bass duties, along with some very capable backup vocalists like Janelle Robinson, King has stacked this deck in her favor much to the pleasure of the listener. Still in Love should easily keep you that way. – Ronald Jackson

Lori King - Still In Love

 

I recently became acquainted with the music of vocalist and Detroit native Lori King who has teamed with Grammy Award winning producer Michael J. Powell for her debut CD ‘Still In Love’. With eight original tunes and two top-notch covers that blend soul, pop, R&B, and contemporary jazz in an invitingly ‘blue-eyed’ kind of a way, it’s a recording that goes well beyond the interesting.

 

A case in point is Lori’s take on the Stevie Wonder classic ‘Signed, Sealed, Delivered’ that she absolutely nails while very different but just as good is her rendition of the David Gates Bread classic ‘I Want To Make It With You’. The title cut has a smoky quality well worth checking out yet the track that perhaps works best is ‘Lovin’ You Lovin’ Me’. With a bluesy earthiness and a vibe somewhat reminiscent of the Rolling Stones classic ‘Miss You’ this is Lori King at her very best.     -Denis Poole

Use Google Translate.  We wanted to post the Dutch language review because it's just cool to know that people all around the world are enjoying Lori King's debut album "Still In Love"!!

 

Lori King: Still In Love
02/04/20140

 

Uit muziekstad Detroit komt het nieuwe geluid van Lori King, die hier een aardig debuut neerzet. Lori is echter geen groentje in het vak, als songwriter en artieste trad ze op in diverse steden in de USA, in Londen, Gotheburg en Cannes. Haar perfecte mix van soul, jazz, R&B en pop maakt dat het publiek haar best lust. Ze won in 2012 de Indie Music Channel Award als Best Female R&B Artist. Toen werd ze opgemerkt door producer Michael J. Powell, die al samenwerkte met o.a. Anita Baker, Aretha Franklin, Randy Crawford, TLC, R Kelly enz. Hij liet haar tekenen bij zijn label, en het resultaat is niet mis! Lori brengt originele tracks, waaraan Michael J. Powell meeschreef. Ook speelt hij gitaar en produceerde de cd. De elf songs klinken soulvol met jazzy invloeden, zoals de mooie opener ‘Unexpected’. ‘Lovin’ You Lovin’ Me’ klinkt wat meer funky, waarna de ballade ‘Still In Love’ eraan komt. Ook ‘Hang On’ is verleidelijk mooi, waarna de opgewekte Stevie Wonder cover ‘Signed, Sealed, Delivered’ aan de beurt is. Iets verderop staat de sexy cover van Bread’s ‘I Want To Make It With You’. Lori weet echt je te betoveren! Ik ben dan ook in de wolken met haar album en denk dat we nog veel van haar zullen horen.

Lori King is a Detroit native who delivers a powerhouse debut with STILL IN LOVE, lovingly brimming with soulful and romantic music to get you in the mood and keep you there! King, who has toured worldwide, now makes her mark on a recording, produced by Grammy Award winner Michael J. Powell, that perfectly blends soul, pop, R&B, and Contemporary Jazz. It took me only a few minutes to remember who King sounds like – the amazing Randy Crawford! But King puts her own touch to originals and classics, the latter including a joyous “Signed, Sealed, Delivered” and a slowed down, sexy-as-hell “I Want to Make It With You.” King pours her heart into her nuanced vocal delivery – just listen to the erotic and breathy beginning to “Unexpected.” King can be flirtatious, sure, but she also expresses a still-tender longing in the title track, “Still in Love,” an ode to couples who’ve stayed together through thick and thin. If you’re looking for some Quiet Storm of yore, you can’t go wrong with Lori King!

'King' of the Indie 'jungle' making strides

-Larry Buford; Los Angeles

 

At a time when getting a deal with a major record label is slim to none, and mainstream radio is restricted to monotonous repetitive playlists, it’s refreshing to know there is a group of artists who are undaunted and fearless in their pursuit of musical expression. One such artist is singer Lori King who was honored with an award for Best Female R&B Artist 2012 at the First Annual Indie Music Channel Awards held recently at Hollywood’s House of Blues.

There’s sultry; and then there’s ultra-sultry – the latter befitting King’s persona as she took to the stage to showcase two songs from her new CD Still In Love (the title track which was also nominated for Best Song).

The audience was held captive like a lioness holding onto her prey as she sang with such prowess, conviction and believability, accentuated by her every sensual, curvaceous move. She’s the whole package inside and out. Released on Detroit Town Records, the CD is produced by 8-time Grammy Award winner Michael J. Powell – a remarkable musician best known for his work with Anita Baker. The 11-song set is chock-full of surprises including a fantastic cover of Stevie Wonder’s “Signed, Sealed, Delivered,” and Bread’s “Make It With You.” Interestingly, on the third track “Lovin’ You Lovin’ Me,” Powell seems to have mined a Quincy Jones’ production vein of a song he recorded on Aretha Franklin called “Master Of The Eyes” – a song I always thought deserved more exposure (kudos to Powell for going down that path whether intentionally or unintentionally).

King – a native Detroiter – continues a long line of great singers/musicians of that region, prompting the comment “It must be in the water” in reference to the Great Lakes. Listening to Still In Love, there’s no question Powell has tapped a wellspring that continues to spout great timeless music. From breathy bedroom nuances to powerhouse tones, King’s voice caused one intrigued fan to say, “…Lori King has a very interesting sound that draws you in.” Said King, “This is very exciting…Michael J. Powell produced this fabulous album and I’m just excited to get it into the hands of people all over the world.” Brian Spears who is Powell’s business partner handling licensing, publishing, and administration said, “Michael Powell who is President of Detroit Town Records [we call it D-Town] introduced me when they were recording the album and I fell in love with Lori’s music…Lori’s got a hit on her hands!”
