With tinges of gospel, Calvin Richardson channels the ghost of soulsters past on 2:35 P.M., his second solo record. While his vocal style--with its lilting turns, sensual grooves, and underlying quiet desperation--is hauntingly akin to Jodeci, his lifelong friends from North Carolina, there's a certain anachronistic flair, a subtle sincerity giving Richardson originality, saving him from drowning in the sea of soul mediocrity.
Furthermore, Richardson proves himself a stalwart songwriter. The album opens with "Keep on Pushin'," a charmingly pleading, organ-soaked number that wouldn't feel out of place in the Otis Redding catalogue, and injects a bit of 1990s harmonies into a basic Motown ballad on the following track, "Falling Out." The crooner shifts to more conventional modern R&B later on the album, but he retains the spirit of music gone by. Often Richardson comes up with the most fetching hybrid concoctions such as "More Than a Woman" (not the Tavares/Bee Gees song, but from the same mold) and the unwavering "You Got Me High," which features a seamless appearance by rap troupe Slum Village.

Average Rating: (4.7 out of 5 stars)   List All 13 Reviews Calvin is Amazing
I do not know why Clvin does not get the recognition that he deserves I have been listening to this album for years and it sounds just as good today as it did years ago. If you want an album that you can play and enjoy from the first lyric to the last; this is the album for you. Thank you calvin

Good Album
Calvin has an amazing voice that brings back memories of D'Angelo. The only reason I rate this a 4 is because the songs toward the end of the album were ok, but they didn't move me that much. The first six songs on the other hand are AMAZING! He has some real talent, I would just like to see more depth.
