An album that expertly sows the seeds of gender conflict.
-
We Say...
The Soul Children's sexually integrated lineup was at its best on a string of lyrically intimate, sometimes melodramatic works that skillfully harvested the fields of gender conflict. This retrospective disc combines two of their albums and features their finest single, "The Sweeter He Is (Parts 1 & 2)," a spicy number about romantic anticipation and the price that's often paid when parties act on it. Future star J. Blackfoot was perhaps their finest talent, but the male/female exchanges set them apart.

They Say...
Two vintage albums by the Soul Children for the price of one CD. Half the productions are by their mentors Isaac Hayes and David Porter, the other half by Porter and his subsequent partner Ronnie Williams. Deep soul sagas the magnitude of "I'll Understand," "Move Over," and "Tighten Up My Thang" provided the paradigm for future Soul Children producers. The Porter/Williams productions are more consistent, but none are as brilliant as the few gems by Hayes and Porter. But whatever the Soul Children sing, their golden voices make even the most hackneyed cuts interesting.
“ The indie iTunes — Hardcore music fans are migrating to eMusic, the iTunes Music Store's cheaper, cooler cousin.”
