Better hear what I’ve gotta say ‘cause you won’t get it again
I can create you in my own image and likeness if you’d let me
I wanna capture the air you breathe
Turn it to something that we can see
I wanna get deep inside your mind
I know there’s treasure we can find
I’ll bring my canvas
Let’s keep it candid
Baby don’t be anxious
Capture the sadness
There’s so much more for us to explore
There’s too much beauty too ignore
You can be my muse if you wanna
‘Cause you turn all my blues into colour
With you I can’t lose there’s no other
So baby don’t refuse
Will you be my muse
I like the feelings that you inspire
You’re really someone that I admire
You’re what they call a masterpiece
You are the art that I must complete
Let me get my canvas
Let’s keep it candid
Baby don’t be anxious
Capture the sadness
There’s so much more for us to explore
There’s too much beauty too ignore
I just wanna capture your smile
Even if it takes me a while
I just wanna capture your smile
You’re exactly what I like

Like so many others, this came like a bolt out of the blue and, even though it's well before payday, I had to have this astonishing album on vinyl to prove it exists. The feel of the tunes makes me feel like the Impressions do, Curtis Mayfield, the big spaces and instinctive horns and stuff drifting in and out. Great grooves and I can see lots of ghosts nodding along to this with big smiles on their faces. At last! Anthony Cottrell
