Our Take

Ray Charles, the OG king of soul, may have left us, but his legacy lives on in "Genius Loves Company," a star-studded tribute to his timeless music. This album is like a musical cocktail party, with Ray inviting all his famous friends to join in on the fun. From the smooth crooning of Norah Jones on "Here We Go Again" to the soulful rendition of "Fever" with Natalie Cole, each track is a testament to Ray's enduring influence on the music world. The collaboration with Elton John on "Sorry Seems to Be the Hardest Word" is a highlight, showcasing the interplay between two musical giants. The album is a mix of old classics and new twists, with duets that range from jazzy to downright funky. Stevie Wonder brings his signature harmonica skills to "Blame It on the Sun," while James Taylor adds a touch of country twang to "Sweet Potato Pie." Sure, some may argue that "Genius Loves Company" plays it safe, sticking to the tried and true formula of duets with big-name artists. But isn't that part of the charm? This album is like a warm hug from an old friend, comforting and familiar yet still capable of surprising you with its depth and emotion. So grab a glass of your favourite tipple, dim the lights, and let Ray Charles serenade you with his genius. Because when it comes to soulful music, there's nobody quite like the man himself. Cheers to you, Ray.
