Full article:

For well over a decade, Christopher Peyton’s classy dance pop for the Hed Kandi label has been acclaimed in clubland around the globe but, in the wake of a high profile 2016 appearance on The X Factor (let’s not hold that against him), he’s started exploring his soul and blues roots. Tracks like When They Go High and Jericho, powered by gospel chants and huge percussion, offer spiritual and political messages that are too often absent in modern pop. Although Peyton’s vocal style harks back to the best of mid-80s soul stylists, this album should find an appreciative audience among folks who love contemporary artists as diverse as John Legend and Bruno Mars.
