Singer Alexander Stewart‘s second release I Thought About You explores a range of styles, idioms and sounds to great effect. The three general areas covered are classic vocal standards (1940s/50s) 1960s groove/boogaloo soul and four Stewart originals, one of which co written with pianist, composer and “song activist”, Alex Webb. What might appear to be a disparate concoction of genres results in a final meal that is quite wholesome and captivating. Stewart’s easy on the ear mezzo-tenor-cum-baritone voice is engaging and well suited for all of the varied repertoire. Because of its velvety and mellow qualities there is never a hint of any acidic or over-the-top vibes. As a matter of fact, the occasional nonchalant swagger that occurs is ever so welcome.
