Gregory Porter | Nat “King” Cole & Me
Blue Note | Official Store | Amazon | iTunes
According to Sonya Alexander: “Porter pays homage to his idol with his latest release Nat "King" Cole & Me, which arrives courtesy of the legendary Blue Note Records. During the Nat "King" Cole & Me album trailer, Porter shares a piece of wisdom his mother gave him: "Guard your heart 'cause from it comes the issues of life." In the case of listening to Porter's ardent renditions of Cole's works, open your heart and accept those issues, for they're the stuff that makes life enjoyable: heartache, redemption, self-reflection, love....Every song for Porter seems to be an examination of his own unlimited musical talent. He seems to understand every song and internalizes them, which leads to an honest delivery. With his fifth studio album, Gregory Porter does Nat "King" Cole, as well as himself, proud with this incandescent tribute.”
