English soul singer and multi-instrumentalist Lynden David Hall made his debut in 1997 with the highly acclaimed Medicine 4 My Pain. He picks up where he left off with the successor The Other Side. It is a mostly self-written, played and produced album with funky, bluesy soul with gospel influences on Marvin Gaye, Stevie Wonder and Al Green. Although here and there a bit too predictable and smooth,
… The Other Side is an especially beautifully produced and varied album with the funky opener If I Had To Choose, the restrained U Let Him Have U, Hard Way, Where's God? and the guitar ballad Don't Wanna Talk. (WvdZ)more
