    Rejuvenating yet not familiar, daring without feeling forced, these 13 songs properly introduce Wallace as a risk-loving, spiritual guide in contemporary music, bringing a needed self-assuredness to contemporary soul.

    Kicks up a storm on this self-penned retro soul outing which is a hothouse blend of pop smarts and confessional songwriting in which stabbing horns and call-and-response harmonies constantly take it higher. [Jun 2026, p.85]

    While his writing and some of his mannerisms might be a shade too familiar for die-hard fans of classic R&B, Wallace has a voice that leaps from the grooves with a particular grain that sometimes evokes a hybrid of Otis Redding, Johnnie Taylor, and Rance Allen.

    He makes a bold splash - so idiosyncratic, in fact, that you'll wish the music was as powerful and eccentric as the vocals. [Jun 2026, p.26]
