After contemplating the vagaries of
a Kiss Under the Moon and digging into an enduring realm of
Devotion by blowing his saxy romance all over the stylistic map,
Warren Hill strips down to the naked
Truth of who he is and where his heart is headed on his no-nonsense third release. In the year since his last venture, his life had seen many new commitments and changes--marriage, moving from the uncertainty of L.A. to the simpler climate of Nashville, and the disc reflects the growth with an air of positive depth in addition to the steamy fun. Sticking to one production team this time out keeps
Hill's electron darting, edgy horn passion out in front, and he seems to have adapted remarkably well to the Tennessee studio life.
Matt Rollings adds his bluesy B-3 touch to the sweet yet bouncy ode to
Hill's wife "Tamara," while his bright ivories seduce remarkably on the mid-tempo "Time For A Change" and the tender "Miss You Forever." Since the sultry "Passion Theme" has been his biggest hit to date,
Hill may believe that his greatest strength is in the romance department.
