Inspired by a trip around the world that began with a two-week stay in the hold of a cargo ship (yes, really), Jack Steadman delights in his debut album God First. After a mutual hiatus of his longtime band, the Bombay Bicycle Club frontman Steadman the festival-anthem indie rock focus and tapped into the classic (and quintessentially American) genres of soul and jazz.
It was certainly a departure, but the results are undisputable. Featuring icons from generations ago like Charles Bradley, De La Soul, Horace Andy, and Lalah Hathaway, God First feels like a homecoming for Steadman.
There’s so much ear candy here your ear cavity is gonna get a cavity.
