Sky-Hi - Testify (2011)

Testify is the debut album by Sky Hi, a vibrant blend of Southern soul with elements of funk, reggae, and contemporary R&B. The album bursts with the frenetic energy of the title track Testify and the rolling, soulful vibe of Walk Through That Door. Tracks like Do Not Want, with its quasi-reggae lean, and Fell Short, which could fit on modern R&B stations, showcase the band’s boldness in experimenting with genres. DeRobert “Dee” Adams’ powerful vocals, backed by a four-piece horn section, fluttering organ melodies, and a rock-steady rhythm section, create a rich and emotive sound, recorded at Poor Man Studios in Nashville.
