Album Notes
The follow-up to Avant's hugely successful DIRECTOR, this 2008 self-titled album finds the R&B singer easing into an accessible and eclectic set of tunes as he acclimates to a new label, Capitol Records. While the smooth-voiced singer offers up plenty of slow jams, particularly the electro-tinged "Sensuality" and the sensitive lead single "When It Hurts," he verges on funk with "Involve Yourself," and goes for full-blown pop on the horn-laden "Material Things." Other highlights of AVANT include the catchy, Snoop Dogg-featuring "Attention" and a quiet storm-like cover of Christopher Cross's "Sailing," which stays true to the spirit of the original song and serenely closes out the album.
Industry Reviews
AVANT is packed full of sturdy, no-frills soul tunes....Avant proves that it's possible to be both a lover and a fighter. -- Grade: B
Avant mines vintage New Jack flavors, mixing them with the '70s-style synthesizer washes of such tracks as 'Sensuality' and 'When It Hurts'...
