John has just released a third record, entitled 'Reach Out', but this release comes from 2003. John describes it as club/R&B/hip-hop, which would certainly cover it. "Rejoice" is minimalist soul, "My Everything" is just very, very cool, there are hip-hop elements in "Shalom" and "Saving Grace" while "Bye Bye" has a Latin feel to it and "Walking In The Spirit" even gives a nod to Jamiroquai. The arrangements are very imaginatively done and there are some cool touches such as the rap in "If You Believe" and overall I'm really impressed. Good job sir.
