Our Take

Smokey Robinson, the legendary Motown maestro, graces us with a dose of his signature smooth soul on "Pure Smokey." With a voice as velvety as a freshly ironed silk shirt, Robinson effortlessly glides through each track, like a suave crooner at a cocktail party.

The album opens with the infectious groove of "Quiet Storm," setting the mood for a night of seduction and soulful introspection. Robinson's falsetto floats like a delicate mist over the lush orchestration, drawing the listener in with every honeyed note.

Tracks like "Cruisin'" and "Being with You" showcase Robinson's timeless songwriting prowess, with lyrics that tug at the heartstrings and melodies that linger long after the final notes have faded. It's a masterclass in crafting timeless, heartfelt tunes that transcend genre and era.

But it's not all smooth sailing on "Pure Smokey." The album does hit a few bumps in the road, with some tracks veering dangerously close to schmaltzy territory. "Just to See Her" and "One Heartbeat" may have been chart-topping hits back in the day, but they haven't aged quite as gracefully as the rest of the album.

Overall, "Pure Smokey" is a welcome reminder of why Smokey Robinson is considered one of the greatest soul singers of all time. With his velvety vocals and impeccable songcraft, Robinson proves once again that he's still got the magic touch. So dim the lights, pour yourself a glass of something strong, and let Pure Smokey transport you to a world of smooth, soulful bliss.
