| Geri King
Always CD (2004)
 $8.79
~ Johnny Loftus
Deja Vu, Geri King's full-length 2002 debut, was a nice showcase for her soulful, clean-burning vocal style, even if its effectiveness was curtailed by canned arrangements and limited production. Not only is Kimo Kaulani the Nuendo Music Group honcho, he exec produced here, and again serves as King's co-songwriter and principal instrumentalist. Standouts include the opener "Could It Be," the spare, neo-soul-inspired "Tears You'll Never See," and "My Life"'s defiant TLC simmer. However, the album does boast streamlined songcraft that focuses on ballads and mellow contemporary R&B. The synthesized melodies and percussion return for Always, again courtesy of principal King collaborator Kimo Kaulani. Deja Vu, Geri King's full-length 2002 debut, was a nice showcase for her soulful, clean-burning vocal style, even if its effectiveness was curtailed slightly by canned arrangements and limited production. However, it's immediately clear that Always suffers from the same unimaginatively synthetic instrumentation that marred King's previous output. The album opens with a few of its strongest tracks, "Could It Be," the spare, neo-soul-inspired "Tears You'll Never See," and "My Life"'s defiant TLC simmer. King builds on that promise with Always, which ditches Deja's slight flirtations with clubby accessibility for a streamlined set of ballads and contemporary R&B mellowness. Instead, Always is just Deja Vu all over again. It's too bad because better-defined direction and stronger production could turn King's soulful melt into pure perfection. Always' inclusion of two archly romantic interludes is a nonstarter as well since their awkward phrasing and airy synths aren't memorable enough to be anything more than filler. His reliance on synthesized melodies and percussion continually hinders King's warm vocals -- even if she aims valiantly for the sensual ease of Alicia Keys, the wishy-washy backgrounds of cuts like "The Way" and "When We First Met," and "Lifetime" suggest the soft-focus dead zone of mid-'80s R&B.

After a debut EP (Tenderly), Geri King released her debut full-length one year later, also with production by Kimo Kaulani. Exploring past the poor graphic design reveals that King is a contemporary R&B singer with plenty of soul; the opener, "Once," balances a
