After Hours

"Best soul album of the year 2004 - it's deep, uplifting and very talented soul music, very high class"
- Soul Portal

One of the finest US soul vocalists of recent years is undoubtedly Rahsaan Patterson, who returns to the recording scene with a real blockbuster of an album. 'After Hours' is a self-penned collection of songs to follow his critically acclaimed albums on MCA Records, 'Rahsaan Patterson' and 'Love In Stereo'.

'After Hours' finds the LA-based vocalist, songwriter and producer adding another distinct and sparkling tile to the mosaic of his musical life. Featuring collaborations with regular studio partners Jamey Jaz and Van Hunt, plus contributions from Steve 'Silk' Hurley, 'After Hours' presents a tougher, funkier side of Rahsaan's multi-faceted persona.

The result is an album of many moods and styles, from the up-tempo classics 'Separate' and 'Burnin', to the bitter-sweet ballads like 'The Best' with its lush strings, to the standout track 'The One For Me'.

While drawing comparisons with soulful brothers such as Maxwell, D'Angelo or even Amp Fiddler, Rahsaan's laidback style, smouldering voice and silky smooth, enticing grooves are recognizably his own.

'After Hours' is a truly classy soulful r'n'b masterclass, with Rahsaan's crowning glory - his immaculate voice - carrying his exceptional music to an established and ever-growing fanbase.
