His name is Martin Luther and I have a feeling you all will love him. He's heavy on the guitar...

If you listend did you like it? Do you agree?

Hmm , what about that link to Oprah

Too mellow

Too mellow lol?

That's him on the guitar and listen to the end of "Rise". It's reminiscent to the way Prince or The Isley Brothers would do it.

The guy needs to SHOUT !!!

I don't feel any emotion

Too smooth

Dewrede said:

The guitar does the shouting lol. I like his smoothness and Mr. Ronald Isley never shouted!

Just keep listening over and over again !

Dewrede said:

again, i ask... isn't that a giant-ass picture of Snorah Jones in your profile?

Not bad.

The cat playing the red strat in the Daily Bread video looks like the brother that plays Avon Barksdale
(Wood Harris) in The Wire on HBO.

He also played...gulp...



...Jimi Hendrix in that bad TV biography.

Aah, it all becomes clear now why they cast him.
He actually does play guitar...and left-handed at that.

Norah Jones is supposed to be smooth , this guy's style isn't

Marin Luther played guitar with The Roots
when I saw them in concert last year.
He also did an acapella that was awsome!!
Great guitarplayer 2.

Cool! I wasn't sure if he had a nice voice or not by listening to Daily Bread, but when I heard Rise then I was convinced that he could sing. Nice to hear that he sounds just as good live.

Dewrede said:

then might i sugges you come up with another criticism of the many artists you comment on that isn't "[s]he's too smooth." or "[s]he's boring."


and no, "_____ sucks" isn't any better. you've used that one up as well.

NEVER on this org have i used the words "smooth" or "mellow" before to state my opinion of somebody's music

Besides , somebody asked for an opininion and i gave mine !
If you don't agree or don't like the words i use
(which i happen to think in this case are appropriate)
i don't care , so be it !

You won't see ME telling you what you can and can't say , that's just ridiculous

Dewrede said:

i didn't say anything about mellow. but you did use smooth on this thread. and you've used boring a few times.




where did i tell you what you can and can't say? i merely asked if might suggest.....

I used the word "boring" only once , and that was in an emoticon


I don't see your problem , really ; somebody asked for an opinion
and i gave mine

If i happen to think the music is too "smooth" or "mellow" for my
taste , how else would i define that ?


No hard feelings tho

kinda reminds me of me'shell ndegeocello

i like it.

boooooring.

van hunt does this shit 100 times better.

Btw , Gray King , you never gave us YOUR opinion

heybaby said:

Cool!

mrdespues said:

What's Van Hunt best song? I'll see if he does it better or not.

dragondayz said:

try "dust"

or "seconds of pleasure"

mrdespues said:

I like the single that he has out now and I like Dust alot. I wasn't able to hear the full version of "seconds of pleasure" but that sounded nice also.

Idk, bit Martin Luther still has a bit of edge. His voice is more soulful and I like how he incorporates the guitar in his songs, especially the end of Rise. The riffs, or whatever you call it, make it more special.

He's far from boring btw .

Go to Martin on BBC and hear him perform live. Ms. America is NICE!
[Edited 12/7/04 21:51pm]

i listened to the bbc stuff and i'm not impressed at all.

no melody, no interesting lyrics, no depth.

and the man does not play the guitar. he says so himself.

van hunt plays most of the instruments on HIS album.

hunt is the real deal...luther has no future in music.

Dewrede said:

I heard his latest single and I am inclined to agree with you Dewrede. Vocally, it just seemed like something was missing. Of course, he may be one of those kind of artist that you need to see live to feel him out.

mrdespues said:

As for Van Hunt, I wouldn't consider him to be too original neither. He has some definite Prince and Curtis Mayfield influences working for him especially on this one cut I heard on his album called Moments of Pleasure which is a bluesy type tune.

Dewrede said:

Agreed. I feel what you are saying.In other words, he needs to invoke more soul in his voice.
