ALBUM

Along with the Isley Brothers, The O'Jays turned out to be one of the few decade-spanning soul acts musically active into the new millennium. Like the Isleys, they concentrate more on affairs of the heart as opposed to the socio-political themes of their '70s heyday. The O'Jays 2001 MCA Records debut FOR THE LOVE keeps this trend going with ten cuts that can serve as a primer for the Jodecis and Dru Hill's of the world.

Founding members Eddie Levert and Walter Williams continue to anchor the festivities whether on the intricate vocal interplay soaring over the percolating groove and darting strings of "Long Distance Lover" or the pure harmonizing of the Luther Vandross-like "I Don't Know." Newest member Eric Grant also takes an impressive turn in front of the mike amidst the flamenco-flavored nuances and jiggy swagger of "Latin Lover" and Memphis-tinged "Baby Making Love" that Al Green would be proud to call his own. Contrasting his smooth delivery is Levert's gruff phrasing, which adds an edge to the urgent quest for love that drives "Let's Ride." FOR THE LOVE is an exemplary outing for any act much less one that's soaring past its fourth decade in the biz.
