In a time when the music industry has grown too smart for itself, when radio is filled with overproduced, mechanical songs that are more about attitude than music, a casual listener would be led to believe that organic soul music no longer existed. And that's what makes an album like Hopes Too High that much more special. Sounding like they simply grabbed their instruments in a club and started playing, Marcell & the Truth deliver a stunning set of songs here that are equally inspired and inspiring. The group effecively mixes elements of jazz, soul and blues, sounding like the rightful heirs of Frankie Beverly and Maze, but with slightly rougher edgesBand/artist history
"a brand new name and band to me for 2006, this is definitely an album that should be investigated immediately!!" Roger Williams- Solarradio.com UK
".. but in honesty I kept coming back to "Hopes Too High" it's just one of those great recordings that only real soul people connect with, I guess you are so this is for you - honest." Bill Buckley - Blues and Soul Magazine UK
"Frontman, Marcell Russell, a soulful brother filled with southern hospitality hit the center of the floor .. to show what he is really made of and why so many are loudly whispering about Marcell & the Truth, the group of the year!" The VueScene USA
