Our Take

Shafting is the name of the game on Isaac Hayes' latest release, cheekily titled "Shaftin." This album, a continuation of Hayes' iconic work on the Shaft soundtrack, sees the soul legend delving deep into the world of funky, groovy rhythms and seductive storytelling.

From the moment the needle drops on the vinyl, you're transported to a world where smooth-talking detectives and badass heroes reign supreme. Hayes' signature baritone vocals croon over slick guitar licks and vibrant horns, creating a sound that is both nostalgic and groundbreaking.

Tracks like "Theme from Shaft" and "Soulsville" showcase Hayes' unmatched ability to blend soulful melodies with gritty, urban storytelling. The production on this album is top-notch, with each instrument shining brightly in the mix while still allowing Hayes' vocals to take center stage.

One of the standout tracks on "Shaftin" is the 10-minute epic "Do Your Thing," a tour de force of funky beats and soulful grooves that will have you dancing in your living room. Hayes' ability to craft songs that are both infectious and thought-provoking is on full display here, solidifying his status as a musical legend.

In conclusion, "Shaftin" is a must-listen for fans of soul, funk, and good old-fashioned storytelling. Isaac Hayes has once again proven why he is one of the most influential musicians of our time. So grab your bell-bottoms, pour yourself a cocktail, and let the smooth sounds of "Shaftin" transport you to a world of funky delights. Trust us, you won't be disappointed.
