Info zu Departures & Arrivals: Adventures of Captain Curt

Für sein viertes Album hat der Singer/Songwriter aus Atlanta eine Reihe von Songs geschrieben, die sich mit der Sehnsucht und dem Unbehagen, weit weg von zu Hause zu sein, auseinandersetzen - eine lebensnahe Reflexion, die er bald zu einem ausgeklügelten Konzeptalbum über einen im Weltraum verlorenen Piloten ausbaute. Musikalisch knüpft das Album an den bekannten Vintage-Soul an, Curtis croont in bester Manier, doch er unternimmt durchaus auch ein paar Ausflüge, die ein wenig darüber hinausgehen, ohne dass das typische, originäre Flair seines Songwritings davon betroffen wäre. Das Album verschmilzt den üppigen Umfang einer Weltraumoper mit dem reinen Gefühl klassischen Souls - und verleiht seinem wild eklektischen Sound damit eine noch größere Kraft.

Curtis Harding

Curtis Harding
was born on June 11th, 1979 in Detroit, Michigan to a gospel singing mother, and a retired veteran father. As a young kid, Curtis Harding travelled all over the U.S. from State to State with his siblings, exposing him to all different kinds of music. Once Harding, settled down in Atlanta it seemed natural fit for his mix of Southern garage rock and R&B riffs and melodies. Inspired by Otis Redding, Sam Cooke, Bo Diddley and B.B. King, he is a guitarist, singer, and songwriter whose songs evoke the sound of soul from the sixties, with the nitty gritty of In die music of today. Curtis Harding has carved out a place for himself in Atlanta's underground rock scene on his own terms, setting the stage for what could be the brightest year of his career yet. Curtis Harding says that soul music, and his music, speak for themselves. It's self-evident on the Atlanta artist's debut, Soul Power. The driving sound of his electrified Stratocaster, the foot-stomping backbeat and the lyrics swimming in reverb -- with something this flourishing, it's almost reductive to just dig around the roots. Harding's style was born in Michigan and bred on the road, a restless childhood spent singing gospel alongside an evangelizing mother, then cultivated in Atlanta, where he sang backup for CeeLo Green and befriended the Black Lips (he plays with Cole Alexander in Night Sun).
