Freddy Cole - He Was The King
Freddy Cole, the underrated King of Cool, pays tribute to the one and only Nat King Cole with his latest album, aptly titled "He Was The King." And let me tell you, this album is a love letter to not just Nat, but to all the smooth crooners of yesteryear.
From the moment you press play, you're transported to a smoky jazz club in the 1950s, where the music is as smooth as a glass of fine whiskey. Freddy's silky voice glides effortlessly over each track, bringing a modern twist to classic standards like "Unforgettable" and "Mona Lisa."
But don't be fooled by the nostalgia factor - this is no mere imitation. Freddy Cole brings his own unique style and flair to each track, making them fresh and exciting once again. The arrangements are top-notch, with jazzy horns and swinging rhythms that will have you tapping your feet and snapping your fingers in no time.
"He Was The King" reminds us why Freddy Cole is a legend in his own right - his effortless charm, impeccable musicianship, and undeniable charisma shine through on every track. So sit back, pour yourself a drink, and let Freddy Cole take you on a musical journey through the golden age of jazz. You won't be disappointed.
