Tottenham has every reason to be proud of young Mr Obika.
br /
br /A class act becoming classier with each successive album.
br /The Reason, his fourth release, finds the man and his voice
br /in very fine fettle indeed.
br /
br /The ten tracks deliver a coherent and satisfying aural experience.
br /Our hero's flexible and mellifluous tenor continues to mature in
br /both range and expressive power.
br /
br /'The Reason', 'Weight Of The World' and 'If She Knew'
br /all deliver a lyrical and uplifting experience with
br /their strong melodies and complex harmonic arrangements.
br /
br /'Heartbreaker' rips up the rug and rocks. The rough edges
br /in the vocal enhancing the band's energetic performance.
br /
br /The ska-ish beats of 'Trust Me' skitter along merrily.
br /
br /The old soul-train strains of 'Over You' are a pure delight.
br /
br /'Mayday' gives us the true heart of this fine recording.
br /A really beautiful song - beautifully sung.
br /
br /The sharp rhythmic syncopation of 'Wait Forever';
br /'Not What You Say' with it's tight horn arrangement
br /and the plaintive 'Black Tide' bring this fine project
br /to an affecting close.
br /
br /Good wholesome stuff from one of the best on the block.
br /
br /Highly recommended.

Stunning! October 22, 2008

If you thought his single 'If She Knew' was good, just wait til you hear the rest of his new album! Whilst the lead single is a stunning return for Britain's best R'n'B artist, the whole album is packed with songs of the same quality. Anthemic title track 'The Reason' sets the tone; 'Weight of the World' is a soulful ballad and would rip the charts apart; there's a funky brass section in 'Little Miss Heartbreaker' that would put Mark Ronson to shame; and 'Wait Forever' harks back to the brillant KaciJoJo whose ballad-with-beat style is tributed here. In short, a stunning album...
Amazing!!! October 23, 2008

This album is simply stunning. If you're a fan of smooth RB then this is it. There isn't a weak track on this album. I've already burned a CD from my download and will be playing it all the way to work and back again for the next week. I will now check out more from Lemar.
