Movie Muzik: A Cinema For The Blind
Just how good is Mel Alston Jr.’s Movie Muzik: A Cinema For The Blind?
It’s the combination of many things gone right: mainly fresh sounds, crisp production, and fantastic vocals. This is the work of an artist who isn’t known enough that knows he should be known more. Lending a skilled ear to fantastic song crafting, creating tracks that meld R&B with elements of rock in perfect harmony, and backed by the skillful producing hand of Willie Stone, Mel Alston Jr. is perhaps overdue for major success; this album one deservedly puts him over the top. A seductive collection of R&B melodies acompanied by the soulful sound of Alston’s voice embodies what can only be described as Philly Soul. Movie Muzik debuts a new raw sound that catapults Mel Alston all the way into the tier of today’s elite R&B gentlemen, Usher, Miguel, Frank Ocean, Justin Timberlake, Ne-Yo, and now Mel Alston Jr. would make quite an amazing playlist of R&B music. Movie Muzik: A Cinema For The Blind is an R&B record that heralds the coming of something pure, raw, and talented. Approach the stargate and step into a steller world of extacy.
