Sounds Like: Built around solid songwriting and the powerfully smooth vocals of seeming soul-singer-icon-in-waiting Maurice Martin, the 10-track album offers hints of old school Al Green ("You and I)" and Stevie Wonder ("Tango Between the Lines") mixed with a modern aesthetic ("Breakdown") that will invariably draw Maroon 5 comparisons. In all honesty, Winslow creates a certain amount of musical integrity lost on Adam Levine and company.

Singer Maurice Martin is a performer in the truest sense. He doesn’t seem to care who’s watching, but by the look in his eyes, you can just tell doing it makes him soar.

The band's new album, "Crazy Kind of Love," features 10 songs of great writing and playing by a band that has taken its time to learn to create something new, something different that will have people talking once the band gets some well-deserved publicity for their album that does more than just help revitalize the soul genre, it kicks it to the next level.
