2014 release, the 17th studio album from the veteran vocalist nicknamed the Prince of Sophisticated Soul. The winning formula of EUPHORIA is not about what gets added, but more a matter of addition by subtraction. A slick 'less is more' production approach by the team of Will Downing, keyboardists Chris Big Dog Davis and Mike Logan, push his rich baritone vocals to the forefront and creates a more intimate Soul-lounge feel, complete with upright bass licks and brushed drum strokes. Within this format, Downing deftly swings from R&B to Blues to Blue-Eyed Soul to Jazz to a Brazilian classic sung in Portuguese. The term Grown Folk's Music is over-used for sure, but there's almost no other way to describe the incredible variety offered on this release or the maturity required to truly appreciate it. Review: MELLOW, MATURE AND SOPHISTICATED !!!. - ONCE more MR WILFRED DOWNING proves that he is indeed one of, or perhaps the only true surviving R&B artists of this epoch. Again he continues to improve on an already awesome talent, showcasing versatility and adaptability, yet sticking to his formula. WILL DOWNING,with his outstanding vocals, is indeed the PRINCE OF SOPHISTICATED SOUL!!!. ON this particular record, his most recent effort "EUPHORIA" is different because this album is laced with pure JAZZ,dusted with some R&B, it is indeed mellow, mature and sophisticated, it is so relaxing, so peaceful, so charming and so soothing. This record,"EUPHORIA" will take you to "EXTACYA"...If you want to go there... THOUGH only eight songs,the package is very full of high quality gems. "TOO HIGH", originally done by the legendary MR STEVIE WONDER, is "aged" to perfection by WILL here, well crafted. "TURN OFF THE LIGHTS" is indeed the ultimate tribute to MR TEDDY PENDERGRASS, WILL has smoothed it out, beautiful. MY most favorite song here is the pounding yet soothing "HEAVEN IN YOUR EYES", an original cut. I would love to see and hear WILL goes all-out original in the future, should be very interesting... ON "LUSH LIFE" you get to hear WILL'S vocals, vintage JAZZ at it's utmost best... "SHE'S GONE", heavy, gloomy,real and jazzy...nice horns... "MEU BEM QUERER" is sung in pure Portuguese...I don't know a word and yet it's so mellow and creamy...somehow MUSIC crosses all language barriers...very versatile indeed WILL.. THE thrills continues in "IF I WERE A MAGICIAN", just so laid back and rich.. THIS CLASSIC program concludes with the bluesey and very jazzy "YOU CAN BRING ME FLOWERS", I Very highly recommended to all JAZZ fans and all who loves excellent, sophisticated, generation and time spanning music, this record will indeed having you feeling quite EUPHORIC for a very long..long..long time. Review: Sugarine - You can't go wrong with Will Downing. Love the remake of "Turn off the Lights" and "She's Gone". Meu Bem Querer - any man that can sing a song in another language with a smooth voice like Will is alright with me. Love the CD.

You can't go wrong with Will Downing. Love the remake of "Turn off the Lights" and "She's Gone". Meu Bem Querer - any man that can sing a song in another language with a smooth voice like Will is alright with me. Love the CD.

Nice CD!
Will Downing is smoothness personified. However, I believe he could have chosen better songs to remake. I know that he likes to cross into many musical genres, but some of the numbers he chose weren't hitting and will make you skip to the next song. My favorite number on the CD is "Heaven In Your Eyes", and I also like "Meu Bem Querer" after I broke out my French dictionary. lol

the will downing I love
I really love this CD. It reminded of the traditional Will Downing CDs compared to the last couple he released. I really enjoy the music on this CD and recently enjoyed his live performance of a couple of music selections from this CD at a jazz festival I attended.

Como decía un famoso locutor de radio, Rafa Fuentes, uno de mis llorones favoritos, no es de sus mejores trabajos pero es un artista al que tengo tanto cariño que no me importa, todos tenemos una cuesta abajo.
