Carl Thomas' new project is EXACTLY the way I expected it to be. He stays true to his own style and gives the listeners what they want. (Read full review at Amazon)

It's always been hard to say what kind of fanbase Carl Thomas would generate. He's not exactly neo-soul, yet you wouldn't find any of his songs playing in the club either. And he was sort of touted as Bad Boy Records' savior back in 2000 due to... (Read full review at Amazon)

As easy as Carl Thomas' So Much Better is to love--the lyrics poke at the heart, and the singing swerves from soft to determined in a way that satisfies consistently--its admirers will fall into a couple of camps. Under one tent you'll find mainstream R&B fanatics, the kind who never heard a skillful handclap and ooh-baby combo they weren't willing to vibe along with, and hanging out under the other will be old-schoolers who never stopped mourning Donny Hathaway. Thomas's knack for delivering both groups the soul-stirring, love-centric songs that thrill them is no small thing--his ability to dig beneath a song's shiny surface and pull out pure emotion would do his iconic predecessors proud. Plus, he makes it all seem easy: midtempo tracks like the reggae-fied "On No (You Can't Be Serious)," on which his voice takes on tinges of John Legend, send out bursts of genuine joy, while straight-up love laments like "2 Pieces" land on the ears with a believability so real it almost burns. --Tammy La Gorce
