Our Take

Ah, Ray Charles, the man who made blindness look cool. His latest album "Whatd I Sayin" is a dazzling blend of soul, blues, and a sprinkle of gospel that will have you grooving from start to finish.

The opening track, "What'd I Say," is an absolute banger that will have you tapping your feet and clapping your hands before you can even say "Georgia on my mind." Charles' signature gravelly voice cuts through the slick production like a hot knife through butter, making you feel like you're right there in the sweaty, smoky club with him.

Tracks like "I Got a Woman" and "Hallelujah, I Love Her So" showcase Charles' incredible talent for blending soulful melodies with infectious rhythms, creating a sound that is undeniably his own. And let's not forget about the incredible musicianship on display here - the horns, the piano, the backing vocals - it all comes together to create a musical experience that is truly transcendent.

But it's not all smooth sailing on "Whatd I Sayin." The album takes a darker turn with tracks like "Tell All the World About You" and "You Be My Baby," where Charles delves into the depths of heartbreak and despair. It's a raw, emotional rollercoaster that will leave you breathless by the end.

In conclusion, "Whatd I Sayin" is a must-listen for any fan of soul music. Ray Charles has once again proven why he is a legend in the industry, and his latest offering is a testament to his enduring talent and influence. So grab a glass of whiskey, dim the lights, and let Ray Charles take you on a musical journey you won't soon forget.
