Gregory Porter

DELUXE EDITION CD + DVD

The standard explanation of Porter’s broad appeal is that there’s something undeniable about his talent; that anyone who can come up with a song such as the unfeasibly beautiful ballad Consequence of Love is obviously destined for success; that his voice, with its echoes of Bill Withers and Donny Hathaway, is built to steamroller any conceivable objection one might raise. And there’s an undeniable truth in all of that.
