Our Take

Various Artists' latest offering, "People Get Ready / The Curtis Mayfield Songbook," is a celebration of one of the greatest songwriters of all time. With a mix of soul, R&B, and funk, this album pays tribute to the legendary Curtis Mayfield in a way that is both respectful and innovative.

From the infectious grooves of "Move On Up" to the haunting beauty of "The Makings of You," each track on this album showcases the depth and versatility of Mayfield's songwriting. The diverse range of artists featured on this compilation brings a fresh perspective to these classic songs, interpreting them in ways that are both faithful to the original and entirely new.

Standout tracks include Janelle Monáe's reimagining of "Superfly," which adds a modern twist to the iconic soundtrack hit, and Sharon Jones and the Dap-Kings' soulful rendition of "This is my Country," which captures the spirit of the civil rights era with power and grace.

Overall, "People Get Ready / The Curtis Mayfield Songbook" is a must-listen for fans of soul music and anyone looking to expand their musical horizons. This album is a testament to the timeless appeal of Curtis Mayfield's music and a reminder of the enduring power of great songwriting. Get ready to be inspired, moved, and entertained by this incredible collection of songs.
