Kingston Calloway.
Terrence Howard is about to be "straight killing them hoes" on the charts. You've been warned.
From today's Los Angeles Times:
"...judging from his performance of "It's Hard Out Here for a Pimp" in "Hustle and Flow," one might expect something a bit more hip-hop than the stylish retro neo-soul album he's turned in. It makes more sense when Howard starts ticking off his main influences: Cat Stevens, Carly Simon, Karen Carpenter, Bread, the Dramatics and Richie Havens. "We don't have people like that anymore,"...Howard's tunes are all originals, written, produced and arranged by Howard, along with his collaborator, Miles Mosley. While the lyrics rarely expand beyond cliché, Howard and his backing outfit, the Band of Kings, conjure up a smooth blend of flamenco guitars, swooning violins, hard drums and dazzling trumpet lines that recall an eclectic combination of John Legend, Herb Alpert & the Tijuana Brass and a dash of Cab Calloway..."
