Listen to Long Long Gone/Never Did Look Like Love
The principle songwriter for the much adored New Street Adventure until 2018, Nick Corbin has enjoyed a prolific solo career since, and here he offers us a pair of soulful tunes.
The meticulous and glowing soul ideas of “Long Long Gone” starts the listen with excellent bass playing and frisky drums, as Corbin’s distinct voice draws us in to the rich climate.
“Never Did Look Like Love” follows and is piano focused, where cozy brass and plenty of flowing backing vocals complement the swirling melodies.
A quick listen that touches on R&B, disco and plenty of soulful song craft, if you’re unfamiliar, this is a great way to test the waters of Corbin’s inimitable talents.
