The Urban Renewal Project's latest offering, "21st Century Ghostin," is a sonic rollercoaster of funky beats and soulful grooves that will have you dancing in your living room one minute and contemplating the meaning of life the next.

From the infectious brass lines on tracks like "Ghost Town" to the smooth vocals on "Spectral Serenade," this album is a masterclass in modern jazz fusion. The band effortlessly blends traditional jazz elements with modern production techniques to create a sound that is at once retro and futuristic.

Lead singer Sarah Shaw's haunting vocals are a highlight throughout the album, adding a touch of ethereal beauty to the gritty urban landscape painted by the band's instrumentation. Her delivery is both powerful and vulnerable, giving the songs a depth and emotion that is often lacking in modern music.

Standout tracks like "Phantom Funk" and "Spiritual Surrender" showcase the band's versatility and creativity, with tight arrangements and memorable hooks that will have you hitting repeat again and again. Whether you're a jazz aficionado or a casual listener, "21st Century Ghostin" is sure to leave a lasting impression.

Overall, the Urban Renewal Project have once again proven themselves to be innovators in the world of jazz music. "21st Century Ghostin" is a testament to their talent and creativity, and is a must-listen for anyone looking for a fresh take on a classic genre. Verdict: 9/10
