Good Things

Good Things is the sophomore album for California native, soul singer, rapper and musician Aloe Blacc.

'Good Things' is Aloe Blacc's (real name Egbert Nathaniel Dawkins) second solo album, following on from his well-received debut 'Shine Through' and involvement in Hip Hop duo Emanon.

'Good Things' marks a shift in methodology from personal to political for Aloe, who refers to the project as his report on present conditions. Soulful, funky tracks such as 'Lovin You Is Killing Me', and the infectious 'I Need A Dollar' have seen Aloe Blacc compared to such acts as Gil Scott-Heron, Gnarls Barkley, Marvin Gaye, Bill Withers & Curtis Mayfield, but Aloe is a true modern original.

'Good Things' tells today's stories with an eye towards positive social change, and with increased exposure through appearances such as his captivating performance on The Graham Norton Show, it looks like Aloe Blacc will be spreading 'Good Things' far and wide.
