Citizen Cope, also known as (if you couldn’t have guessed) Clarence Greenwood, returns for his second full-length, and comes up decisively short. Juggling genres, Greenwood sings soulful, nicotine stained ballads backed by a combination of R&B influenced drum machines with just a dash of Latin beats. For the most part, the concentration lies on the raspy Greenwood whose voice lies somewhere between soul-hip-hop and folk-country, has promise, but falls to cliches. His lyrics could be described as very bluesy, though his story writing lacks inspiration. Most of the songs utilize a piano harmony, a drum machine that overlays various Latin beats (congas, etc) and an extremely subtle and lightly plucked acoustic guitar. He can even bust out the occasional guitar solo (see #4). Production is goo
