Rhye is back with a second album titled, Blood. The big difference is the departure of Robin Hannibal, making Mike Milosh the sole member. However, the result is still a combination of R&B and pop and delivered in a sexy soulful vocal style. The songwriting is first-rate, full of subtle parts and layers that pull from many styles, but always support Milosh’s extraordinary voice. The ten tracks are organic in nature, Milosh wrote much of the material while on tour, and recording the album with his live band added a presence that creates a consistent vibe throughout the entire album. An intimate journey into a modern R&B sound, with intimacy, crafty songwriting and strong singing. That’s the short of it!
