British
duo Hil St. Soul lays out strong, if not necessarily catchy, rhythms on
their third set, the flowing follow-up to their critically acclaimed
2004 release Copasetic and Cool.
Zambian-born songstress Hilary Mwelwa and music partner Victor Redwood
Sawyer, shine with buttery smooth soulful tracks like the milky "One Of
A Kind" while the slightly up-tempo "Hey Boy" aptly showcases the
alto's illustrative songwriting skills.

But while the
previously mentioned album and its predecessor, Soul Organic, offered a
certain excitement in terms of new act on the rise, the current set
seems a little too comfortable in its now played categorization of
"neo-soul." While it's refreshing that Hil St. Soul embraces and
creates quality music with a sweet mix of R&B, soul and smooth
jazz, one wishes there was a little more variety on this set to push it
beyond the bar they've already raised.
