Release Notes
------------
Given the widespread critical acclaim and commercial success Brian Culbertson
garnered from 2008's retro Bringing Back the Funk, it would be understandably
tempting for him -- or any musician -- to revisit it wholesale. However,
Culbertson throws a changeup on XII and comes up with a set of collaborative
originals with stellar guests that relies more on modern adult R&B than funk,
and more on sophisticated pop than it does on contemporary jazz. He's got real
star power on this set; it's a groover that includes everything from club to
go-go funk, up- and midtempo R&B, and polished bedroom ballads, and it all holds
together seamlessly. The set opens with "Feelin' It," which features some comedy
from Sinbad in the intro and outro, but more importantly, Chuck Brown's vocals
are the centerpiece -- Culbertson's piano line quotes liberally from Brown's
classic "Bustin' Loose" (he gets a co-write). Ray Parker, Jr.'s guitar and Alex
Al's bassline turn it into a monster. Next up is a soulful stepper in "Another
Love," with vocals by Kenny Lattimore. Club makes another appearance in "Out on
the Floor," with Brian McKnight laying down his brand of smooth groove above a
killer string arrangement and a lockstep funky backbeat. Nu-soul balladeer Avant
sings on the hit single "Skies Wide Open"; with Randy Bowland's guitar playing
an excellent counterpoint to his vocal, it is among the standout cuts here.
Faith Evans fronts Culbertson's band on "Don't U Know Me by Now," a midtempo
attitude strutter. Parker makes a fine yet minimal vocal appearance on the
simmering babymaker "I Wanna Love You," compensated for by killer guitar work
and the spoken word bit from Floetry's Natalie Stewart on set closer "I Don't
Know." Of the four instrumental tracks, the most notable are "It's Time" and the
transcendently joyful contemporary jazz number "That's Life," co-written by
Culbertson, Parker, and Earl Klugh, who also plays on it. While nothing on XII
breaks new ground, one suspects that this wasn't Culbertson's intention: he was
looking to write and record an album that had "quality" stamped all over it. For
its diversity, imagination, and execution, he gets high marks
