If Words Were Flowers

Description

The return of one of the greatest soul artists of his generation! To simply call Curtis Harding a soul man is an understatement. His voice conveys pain, pleasure, nostalgia, tenderness, sadness, and strength – a whole range of emotions. Today, it takes an optimistic turn with his new album, "If Words Were Flowers." This is his first new music since 2018, following his critically acclaimed album "Face Your Fears." The album includes songs like "Hopeful," where Harding croons devoutly over a classic soul groove, with gospel backing vocals accompanying him on modern psychedelic flourishes. Harding nurtures a psychedelic sound that blends with the essence of Soul. His songs convey an eclectic mix of genres, stemming from the many musical lives he has lived, from childhood touring with his evangelist and gospel singer mother across the country, to Atlanta rap, to forming a garage band with Cole Alexander of The Black Lips and backing up Cee Lo Green. Through these experiences, he fully embraces life's darker subtleties and creates dynamic and addictive melodies.
