This Song Is For You

One of the most iconic voices in soul music, Ronald Isley updates a few of his Isley Brothers hits on this solo outing: "Another Night" is a sequel of sorts to "Between the Sheets," riding that song's languid, sensual rhythm, and "Make Love to Your Soul" climbs on the potent, soaring guitar riff from "Voyage to Atlantis." Even fresh numbers like Isley's duet with millennial R&B crooner Trey Songz, “Lay You Down,” are awash in the originator's classy, sultry vibe.
