Artist Description
At various junctures in his artistry, Marc Anthony Thompson has been called eclectic, theatrical, soulful, emotional, witty, mournful, celebratory, hopeful, raw, humanistic, romantic, passionate, intelligent, introspective, irreverent and hypnotic. Rolling Stone noted, "As a songwriter, Thompson pledges allegiance to his own moody doctrine, managing intimate confession and ironic distance all at once." Blender declared that, "Thompson draws on the past without sounding slavishly retro. Chocolate Genius lives up to his billing," while Amazon opined, "Thompson deftly fuses country, soul, trip hop, rock and jazz with witty, world weary lyrics that, while loose, are rooted in solid song craft."Black Yankee Rock is an album of unquestionable beauty comprised of heartfelt, passionate songs. Chief among them is the insistent opener "The Beginning Of Always." Equally lovely is the deliciously quirky "Chasing Strange," the poignant and deceptively anthemic "Forever Everyone," and "Same Time Tomorrow" (an ode to marital bliss that boasts accordion from the legendary Van Dyke Parks). This Chocolate Genius Inc album further confirms Marc Anthony Thompson's reputation as one of the most accomplished and adventuresome singer/songwriters around, making the case that his is a voice that ought to be heard.
