Kloud 9 Yearning 2 Love CD

Twin brothers Kelvis and Kendall Duffie purvey old-school soul and R&B on their sophomore 2007 release. Sweet, slow jams, uplifting choruses, and heavenly harmonies hint at their gospel background (both men have not only performed gospel music but also work in the gospel entertainment industry), but the focus is on love in its many permutations.
