Our Take

Ah, James Taylor, the king of folk-pop. His latest release, "That's Why I'm Here," on coloured vinyl no less, is a delightful romp through the whimsical world of Taylor's trademark sound.

Opening with the title track, Taylor's smooth vocals and masterful guitar work transport you to a sunny day, sipping lemonade on a porch swing. The nostalgia-inducing "Song for You Far Away" beautifully captures that bittersweet feeling of missing someone special.

But don't be fooled by the laid-back vibe - Taylor's lyrics pack a punch. "Only One" confronts the harsh realities of love and loss, while "Going Around One More Time" is a joyful anthem of perseverance in the face of adversity.

The standout track has to be the funky "Turn Away," which sees Taylor experimenting with a more up-tempo sound and adding a touch of soul. It's a refreshing departure from his usual acoustic ballads and really showcases his versatility as a musician.

Overall, "That's Why I'm Here" is a solid addition to Taylor's already impressive discography. Whether you're a die-hard fan or a newcomer to his music, this album is sure to leave you with a smile on your face and a tune stuck in your head. Long live the king of folk-pop!
