Born- China Black

Pop-ish kind of neo soul. 

Now, wikipedia tags the only album from the duo "pop-reggae." Y...es... There may be a strong reggae style in "Where" but the other tracks confine the influence to one or two instruments recalling the most recognisable reggae sound and not much beyond that. And hey, reggae was a major thing of the late 20th century so really, what kind of good soul music isn't a little influenced by it ?! The lyrical content, the atmosphere of the album stick to soul and the music is so pack(ag)ed that it's closer to 90s quality pop. So don't expect any rhythmic, wise, weed-smoking philosophy. It's definitely, and just, urban music. Think Charles & Eddie in a more loaded, less original and diversified form. But it's good music. "Searching," "Born," "Stars" and "Almost see you" are the best way to start.
