Like all Rahsaan Patterson albums, I purchased `Wines and Spirits' on its release day back in September of 2007. I listened to it relentlessly for about 9 months and finally put it away. Three nights ago, in the wee hours of the morning, I awoke with an intense desire to hear "Pitch Black," and "Water." I always loved these two songs but I felt that I had never really "sat" with these songs before. So, I put "Pitch Black" on and opened the lyric booklet and wow!--it was as if I was really hearing this song for the first time.
"pitch black
panic attacks lookin' over my shoulder
wondering what's goin' on
can't see the light at the end of the tunnel
am I ever gonna see the sun"
Many reviewers who do not like the album describe it in the following ways: "depressing," "not happy," "drug obsessed," and "dark." My question is: why must we privilege "happiness?" It seems like there is an almost obsessive preoccupation with being happy--a cultural imperative to appear or be "happy." "Pitch Black," lyrically, is one of Patterson's strongest songs he's ever written. His question: "am I ever gonna see the sun" is an articulation of despair. Despair is a feeling just like joy. Why must there be a hierarchy of the two? The same goes for "Water."
"lifesaver please
is anyone there to sense my need
shores i conceive are farther away than i believe
this shiver's got me bold
and i don't want it to let go
because i fear...i fear
that if i drown no one will care"
Gorgeous and heart-wrenching lyrics. Yes, there is a contemplation of suicide in the song. Many great artists explore this theme in their work. Patterson does it masterfully on this song. Again, some of his best writing ever.
However, for those who were unwilling to fully go into this particular terrain with him, he offers songs that are reminiscent of his great self-titled debut: "Feels Good," and "Stop Breaking My Heart."
"No Danger" is the first song on the album that I truly fell in love with. A very infectious groove. The juxtaposition of "love" and "danger" can tell us a lot about what Patterson is up to, overall, on this album.
"Cloud 9" sees Patterson exploring themes of the sexual in a more explicit way, rather than the more muted gestures we see on songs like "So Hot" and "Burnin'," from the fantastic album `After Hours.' This song is also a brilliant descriptor of what bliss (happiness) looks like to him.
"Deliver Me," "Oh Lord (Take Me Back)," "Higher Love," and "Stars" work very well in their order. This is definitely the "spirits" section of the album. Great songs!
The only song that I do not really like is "Time." Though I adore the way that Patterson stacks the harmonies in the choruses--very good stuff.
This is the first Rahsaan Patterson album where I felt that I could not simply come in. Unlike the inviting nature of `Love in Stereo,' I felt like I had to really think about what he is doing on "Wines and Spirits" before I could fully walk into what Patterson wanted me to experience. For instance, beginning the album with "Cloud 9" and ending with "Stars" (the latter I see working as a double entendre in this respect). And given this, what do we make of the middle of the album's emotional ebbs and flows?
For those who are new to Rahsaan's music, I encourage you to begin with the very first album. For those who simply do not like the album, I certainly respect your opinion. However, for those who are still on the fence about the album, I hope that you will sit with it and the lyrics again--really hear what he is saying.
For me, this album is intelligent, ambiguous, paradoxical, and heart-warming--presented in a way that a true artist would. "Water" is now my favorite Rahsaan Patterson song. And I hope that he continues to push his songwriting in such a way that the dividing line between what is read as "happy" or "sad" become even more blurred--epitomized by the trumpet combined with the lyrics "change your mind/change your mind" on "Water."
His voice sounds amazing. His writing is lyrical, courageous, and outright brilliant. May his tentatively entitled next effort, `Bleuphoria,' be even more polarizing.
4.6
yes, his sound has changed, but he has added more funk and character. if you aren't used to his new style, listen to his cd more and more and you'll see what i mean when you start loving every single song on the album. i just hope rahsaan keeps these albums coming, and other unnamed neo-soul artists follow in his footsteps (van hunt is also staying original and creative.. and his new album is going to be great also).
I think this cd misses VAN HUNT in a major way! The funk that was present on AFTER HOURS is gone - the choruses and bridges are very plain. Rahsaan did this cd with his eyes and heart closed. Another thing, there isn't enough JAMEY JAZ on this cd. JAMEY JAZ has been a staple on cd's 2 and 3 at least and perhaps cd #1. Two songs by JAMEY JAZ isn't enough especially without the presence of VAN HUNT. WINES AND SPIRITS comes and goes too quickly, leaving me wanting more due to not being satiated.
AM I BEING TOO GREEDY?
