Charlie Faye & the Fayettes craft smart soul-pop that merges the sound and style of '60s girl groups with a vibe that's so current, they're already dancing to the forefront of the retro-revival movement. Musically, the group hearkens to Motown, Spector or the Brill Building…the songs are good enough to rate comparison to Goffin & King or Mann & Weil. The album stretches beyond the coy boundaries of '60s girl groups with the opener 'Green Light,' and though 'Eastside' could usher dancers down a Soul Train line, its Stax-styled groove and horn chart service a serious look at social gentrification.
