Continuing with the funk trend we have had lately, here we have a Curtis Mayfield album. For those of you that don't know who Curtis is, he did the Superfly soundtrack. Anyone remember that movie? Or are we all just trying to forget that genre in general? I would be fine with either answer.
Funk isn't my favorite genre to begin with, but there was something about Mayfield's album that I just didn't like. I felt like he was trying to be Marvin Gaye but falling seriously short, both lyrically and musically.
I am probably being too harsh with Curtis Mayfield but I think I am getting sick of the never ending funk especially when there seems to be no variation.
RATING: 2/5
