While I admire the voice and technique, the singing kind of breaks this for me. As soon as he starts singing I can't help but think this is what our grandmas used to get horny to. Sure in 2020 it might still work as an elegant date bedroom eyes soundtrack, but as a more focused listen it frankly sounds a bit funny now. However instrumentally this is really smooth jazz, and I would have loved just an instrumental album of this. The longest runs without singing like on 3 or 6 are without fail the most enjoyable sections - the latter changing atmospheres to something a touch more upbeat and spicy instrumentally, but still just as snorefest vocally. The instrumental part at 3:15 on 4, or some sections of 1 or 2 can't remember show the musicians and especially the drummer having more fun than you'd expect as soon as the singer stops, and it just makes you wish this had more of that. 3.6
