THE HARLEM GOSPEL TRAVELERS Schallplatten & CDs

Review: The Harlem Gospel Traveler's much loved second album Look Up won the group plenty of fans so this follow up release is much anticipated indeed. 'Help Me To Understand' comes with the heavenly vocals of Aaron Frazer and was written and produced by Eli "Paperboy" Reed. It's a tune defined by its spine tinging vocal harmonies and lullaby like melodies with emotive acoustic guitars adding extra layers of lushness. As well as that new tune, this 45rpm comes backed with the still superb title track from the aforementioned album.

Review: Even global economic and social tumult can't faze The Harlem Gospel Travelers, who as a three-piece vocal unit are ever looking onwards and upwards towards the divine. Their first full-length LP as a trio, 'Look Up!' urges us to see the brighter side of live through intense gospel-soul fuelled by quasi-electronic breakbeats and modern production sheen.

Review: The Harlem Gospel Travelers are back with a new lineup of talents on this new album. The new members bring with them some new sounds and Eli Paperboy Reed is the producer behind it. This is the first full-length as a trio from this band and is all original material with gospel traditions of the '50s and '60s colouring the tunes next to bold songwriting and resilient messages. Dazzling vocal arrangements are peppered with gritty guitar and plenty of crunchy breaks to make for a record that touches on the pandemic, anxiety and so much more.

Review: Last year, NYC based revivalist "gospel quartet" group the Harlem Gospel Travelers finally made their vinyl debut album after five years wowing audiences on the live circuit. 12 months later, they're finally ready to release their first full-length excursion. A nostalgic trip through 1950s and 1960s style gospel-based rhythms and blues, soul, funk and doo-wop, the album's greatest strength - aside from the authenticity of the music and production of course - is the group's incredible vocals. Brilliantly arranged harmonies play a big part, though the lead vocals (shared between all four members) are little less than stunning.
