For sure, Ryan Shaw shares much in common with the good folks at Daptone, the Brooklyn imprint renowned for reviving the look and sound of the \u201960s and \u201970s. Throughout his second album, Shaw digs deep into the Motown and Al Green grooves he heard growing up in Georgia, and while he could have lingered in the past and turned out a terrific disc, his ambitions lie elsewhere. On \u201cKarina\u201d and \u201cThat Is Why,\u201d he strives for the splashy, retro-modern sheen of Cee Lo Green. If he\u2019s not quite the sonic space cadet that Cee Lo is, his levelheadedness serves him well. On \u201cEvermore,\u201d more of a \u201990s-style adult-contemporary take on R&amp;B, Shaw chills with veteran Philly crooners the Soul Survivors, reveling in the supreme smoothness.
