Curtis Harding digs down deep and then throws his entire soul on the table with Face Your Fear. Showing an extreme amount of vulnerability and allowing the listener in. Growing up just 100 miles outside of Detroit, MI – It’s no surprise he takes a page or 2 from the classic styles of soul legends such as Marvin Gaye & Stevie Wonder. That’s not to say Curtis doesn’t put his own modern spin on it. That’d be a difficult task with production help from Danger Mouse, sprinkling the slightest amount of psychedelia & modern day vibes throughout. Yet Face Your Fear never strays far from the vintage sounds & continues to pay homage to those that have paved the way in soul music. If Marvin Gaye or Leon Bridges is your jam – then this album is a can’t miss. Turn it up!

“Vintage inspired music can be a double-edged sword, and there’s a fine line between aesthetic and derivative. For Harding’s Face Your Fear, the essence of soul is alive and well, with Harding’s passion for his music setting it apart”
