Bruce Warren: Citizen Cope swings for the fences and scores on “Justice”
“The last time we heard from Citizen Cope, a.k.a. Clarence
Greenwood, was on his 2012 album, One Lovely Day. After six
years, the wait is over and Cope is returning with his first new
album of studio recordings, Heroin and Helicopters, out on March
1, 2019.
Today, XPN premieres “Justice,” from Cope’s forthcoming Heroin
and Helicopters. He recorded “Justice” in the same D.C. studio
(Central Recordings) where he cut his previous hits, “Bullet And A
Target” and “Son’s Gonna Rise.” On “Justice,” Cope assembled a
tight, totally in the pocket rhythm section of bassist Michael “Funky
Ned” Neal (Rare Essence), Paul “Buggy” Edwards and percussion-
ist Bashiri Johnson. Additional contributors on the album include
drummer Abe Laboriel Jr., piano and keyboardist James Poyser of
The Roots and others.
“Justice” is a classic Cope song. It swaggers with a head-nodding
groove and contains a yearning and soulful message of optimism and positivity.
“I have never really experienced what justice is,” Greenwood writes in his bio. “Our definition is
more like revenge or payback. But I have seen love create miracles and overcome hate.”
Born in Memphis, Cope came out of the Washington, D.C. music scene and released his self-titled
debut album in 2002. With musical vibes that draw on hip-hop, soul and the singer-songwriter in his
blood, his breakthrough album was his third release, 2004’s The Clarence Greenwood Recordings,
which featured “Bullet And A Target” and two songs featuring Carlos Santana, “Sideways,” and “Son’s
Gonna Rise.”
Cope’s relationship with Santana dates back to 2002 when Santana recorded “Sideways,” on his
Shaman album. He gave Citizen Cope the idea for the album title; Santana was at a Citizen Cope
show at San Francisco’s Fillmore when he told Citizen Cope to “stay away from the two H’s: Heroin
and helicopters,” saying both had fatal results for people in music. Cope took Santana’s comments
and broadened them out as a metaphor for addiction and instant gratification.
On the song, Cope sings, “There’s so much trouble in the world / Surrounded by miracles / There’s
so much hatred undeserved / But it will not work.”
The hallmarks of Cope’s songs are his impressive ability to pair deep-felt grooves and a memorable
melody with wondrous lyrical simplicity that goes straight to the point and to the heart. On “Justice,”
he swings for the fences and scores.” - Bruce Warren for NPR Music, 11/30/18
Glide says Joe Jackson’s Fool sits among the best albums of his career
“There’s a certain sense of deja vu that’s unmistakably
evident in Joe Jackson’s new album Fool, his 20th studio
outing to date. While the sophisticated sheen of Night and
Day is especially prominent in the proceedings, the instant
allure heard in such songs as the beat-heavy title track and
the snappy, upbeat offerings “Friend Better” and “Fabu-
lously Absolute” glean references that reach back to the
earlier additions to his discography, the unbridled and en-
ergetic expression of his “angry young man” slanted albums
Look Sharp! and I’m the Man in particular.
Mostly though, Jackson is still following the more eclectic
precepts that made his later, more elegiac efforts key to his
crossover to a more mainstream market. While Jackson
used that newfound freedom of expression to delve deeply
into a jazzier motif, soundtracks and abject experimen-
tation, he mostly eschews those objectives here. The intensive drive of opening offering “Big Black
Cloud” and the aforementioned frenzy of the title track aside, Jackson’s main intent seems to be to
make music of a more melodic variety, purveying a late night, lounge-like atmosphere suitable to ac-
company cocktails and casual conversation.
Though it’s somewhat compact — only eight songs fill out the album — Jackson fares well with
the proviso he does provide. While he’s repeatedly tried to replicate the formula he found on Night
and Day in the decades since that record’s release, he seems to have succeeded admirably this time
around by veering away from abject posing and pretension and aiming instead for a supple, sweet-
ened essence. It’s fair to say that songs like the sunny “Dave,” the shimmering “Strange Land” and the
album’s final send-off, the alluring “Alchemy,” recall the best of Jackson’s cosmopolitan style, and each
succeeds exceptionally well as a result. No fooling, Fool ranks among the best works of Jackson’s judi-
cious career, and that’s a solid recommendation in itself.” - Glide, 1/16/19, rating: 9/10
