Changes
Charles Bradley
The centerpiece is a version of the Black Sabbath song Changes, re-imagined as a tear-stained R&B anthem. Bradley recorded this after losing his mother, turning it into a meditation on grief. It sounds like a discovery from the late sixties.
Working with the Menahan Street Band, the production captures the signature warmth of Daptone Records. The record emphasizes analog grit. Bradley's weathered voice takes the lead against steady grooves and tight horn arrangements.
