Wonderfully tender, beautiful uplifting first album for 20 years by the golden-voiced 78-year-old American veteran transgender male singer in a stirring release of African rhythms, soul, gospel, gentle piano pop and cinematic classical. Influenced also by spending much of his life in Canada, and best known for the cult 1986 synth album Keyboard Fantasies reissued in 2021, this is a huge comeback, the voice as powerful and emotive as ever, with several standout tracks including the immense Stand Anthem, Africa Calling, the gorgeous Harbour (Song for Elizabeth), Love Takes All and more, including the cinematic, declamatory closing track No Other, “calling on my ancestors”. Powerful, timeless, emotional. Out on Transgressive Records.
