The Incredible Moses Leroy - Become The Soft Lightes

Man this makes me feel all warm inside. Seriously, I hate to get all sappy on you but throw on "Everybody's Getting Down" and close your eyes. Tell me it doesn't help you reach your happy place? Leroy's got soul, Leroy's got buckets of soul. Along with Elliott Smith and Jeff Buckley, he makes that list of singer/songwriters that have a melancholy to them at pretty much every turn but still manage to be completely uplifting. Besides the obviously angelic music, it's Mo's voice that makes this in to the immediately accessible warmth that it is. His singing whilst it's debatable that it can come off whiny, those vocals do give each tune it's soulful edge. Admittedly "We Don't Dance" doesn't feature him singing but it's still a great song.

These tracks are from one of his two full lengths that you can grab on Amazon and Emusic. I'd say grab 'em both if I were you.
