Songlist

I want you

Lust or Love -- quiet storm music's permanent identity crisis, laid out across ten tracks that refuse to answer the question. Luther says it's never too much but the arrangement says slow down. Teddy commands the lights off and calls it love, but a command is not a request. The Isleys spend five minutes telling you it's 'for the love of you' while the groove says something else entirely. Sade's smooth operator doesn't love anything except the chase. Barry White's baritone makes the argument that enough is never enough -- and that might be the point. This is the sound of the line between wanting and loving getting blurry, track after track.
