The Track Takes His Jazz Influences And Puts Them In Afunk / Disco Context Giving The Track Popular Potential Beyond Its Appeal To70s Soul Connoisseurs. In Has The Feeling Of A Chic Comeback Track, A BrunoMars Disco Revival Number Of Even Of A Latter Day Michael Jackson. Half Waythrough, However, We Get A Taste Of Aram’s Jazz Background With A HeftyRhodes Solo Played By Jason Rebello. It’s A Solo Reminiscent Of Roy Ayers Onthe Vibes Or A George Benson Guitar Solo On One Of His Funkier Numbers.The Rest Of ‘You And I’ Follows Similar Themes Whilst Trying To Stretch Them Indifferent Directions. Very Much A Concept Album, All Music Is Heavilyinfluenced By Stevie Wonder, Even Down To The Artwork , By Cyril Obadiaused For The Album. Tracks Like ‘Stronger’ And ‘Stuck On You’ Follow The Souldisco Revival Route Featuring Some Brilliant Vocals And Irresistible Solos Oneach. ‘In The Air’ And ‘You And I’ Slow The Pace Down And Move Closer To Asoul Ballad In The Mould Of Earth, Wind And Fire Or Even Harold Melvin Andthe Blue Notes. ‘In The Air’ Features Beautiful Vocals From Amy Keys And Fromcult American Hip-hop Artist Rootwords. ‘In The Air’ Is Particularly Close ToAram’s Heart As It Was Written For His Wife Who Was Suffering From Breastcancer At The Time.There Is A Great Feeling Of Fun And Spontaneity In The Album, Which Reflectsthe Way It Was Made And Thought Up In The First Place. It Wasn’t Originallyplanned At All. Aram And His Band Were On Tour In The UK (London In Fact)and Had A Gig Cancelled So, Realising He Was Still Paying Them, Decided Theymight As Well Have Some Fun And Make An Album!
