Charlie Faye - Charlie Faye & The Fayettes [CD]

Charlie Faye & the Fayettes craft smart soul-pop that merges the sound and style of '60s girl groups with a vibe that's so current, they're already dancing to the forefront of the retro-revival movement. "Musically, the group hearkens to Motown, Spector or the Brill Building: Charlie is emerging as a budding Carole King, and the songs are good enough to rate comparison to Goffin & King or Mann & Weil." - Huffington Post "The album stretches beyond the coy boundaries of '60s girl groups with the opener 'Green Light,' and though 'Eastside' could usher dancers down a Soul Train line, it's Stax-styled groove and horn chart service a serious look at social gentrification." - No Depression "Charlie Faye & The Fayettes is sophisticated and warm, but also enormously fun. There's such love and joy in the songwriting, it's palpable. Coupled with exquisite harmonies and sumptuous melodies, it sounds like happiness. Some days, that's all you need."
