Album Review: Zillanova - The Fader

If you're looking for something smooth and soulful to ease you into a relaxing evening, The Fader is it.

Bringing together soul, gospel and funk, Zillanova's latest EP takes a longing look at mortality and pays tribute to the loved ones that are no longer with us. While it's a heavy topic to handle, Zillanova does it well, with just enough soul going into tracks like The Glasgow Coma Scale to make the topic a little easier to take. Vocalist Joshua Tavares shares his uncanny ability to sing with both joy and sorrow at the same time, and he really bares his soul on Let's Break Up Again.

This is a perfect introductory piece of R&B and soul.
