MARC BROUSSARD, Keep Coming Back (Atlantic)
Official Site | MySpace | Preview (AOL Music)
I’m positively giddy about this new set of original tunes from Carencro, Lousiana’s Marc Broussard. Its his debut album on Atlantic records and is sure to continue to raise his neo-soul profile following in the footsteps of key influencers Stevie Wonder and Donnie Hathaway. Sara Bareilles (“Why Should She Wait”) and LeAnn Rimes (“When It’s Good”) pitch in on separate tracks. Check out title track “Keep Coming Back”. File under: Soul / Rock / Pop
