Norman Kelsey’s A Talent for Loving is a non-stop,
dusk ‘til dawn party. From the opening beat of the title
track, which is both boastful and believable, to the closing
command of “Love Someone”, Kelsey takes you from the bar
to the dance floor to the bedroom and back again several
sweat-soaked times. He’s a soulful R&B powerhouse
vocalist, and he’s somehow managed to combine perfectly
some of the best elements of ‘60s-era soul and Motown with
a sense of style and command not seen since Prince was at
his funkiest. Tracks like “Done Lost My Mind” highlight
Kelsey’s slow, seductive, soul skills, while songs such as
“Fall Out” will, as the chorus says, “Rock you so hard
/ We falling out of your bed.” No worries if you’re all
alone, either. A Talent for Loving will have you
dancing your ass off all night, flying on a rhythm-induced
endorphin high.
