Another great review for Electric Empire’s self-titled debut album, this time on soulinterviews.com.
They write:
“There’s both a generosity and humility at the heart of Electric Empire, clearly illustrated by the ability of each of the members to lead tracks vocally without ever stealing the show and deviating from the band’s sound…Electric Empire is an album that deserves to be in any serious soul aficionado’s collection. I’m intrigued to hear how the band will develop their sound but, for now, I’m content to wallow in the warmth of their old school soul.”
