Fourplay
Heartfelt (2lp)
'Heartfelt' was released in 2002; the 7th studio album by the jazz quartet Fourplay. They created a crossover between contemporary jazz, R&B and pop with this album and started reaching a broader audience, partly due to the success of the tracks 'Galaxia' and 'That's The Time.' Fourplay abandoned their individual processes and decided to record this album by free jamming in the studio. The strongest cuts on 'Heartfelt' are those written by one member or two in combination; on these, from the Pat Metheny-inflected title track to Nathan East's velvety vocal showcase 'Let's Make Love,' the quartet's taste and fundamentally conservative aesthetic shine most brightly. 'Heartfelt' is available on vinyl for the first time as a limited edition of 1000 individually numbered copies on gold coloured vinyl and includes 4-page booklet.
