Rector's fourth studio album, Something Like This, opens on
Let the Good Times Roll: an uplifting and timeless tune with a gospel choir-infused chorus that sort of sounds like Motown signed Gavin DeGraw. Rector sings in a more whispered voice on
Song for the Suburbs, an inspired anthemic standout with droning church organ, marching rhythms, and backing vocals. It's difficult to imagine Rector singing these songs without a perpetual smile on his face, especially when the soulful
Never Gonna Let You Go starts grooving on an old Fender Rhodes electric piano and buoyant bass lines.
Without You takes a break from the retro accompaniment with pulsing sequenced drum beats and a dramatically romantic melody that suggests Rector may have more than one Coldplay album in his collection. - iTunes
