Be advised that Boston-bred, Brooklyn-based soulster Eli 'Paperboy' Reed and his zippy seven-piece band, The True Loves have created a fiery barnburner that packs quite a wallop. On “Explosion” - the closing track of their upcoming major label debut on Capitol Records, the Paperboy channels the swagger of Otis and gunpowder wail of Pickett, while his band delivers a 100-mph soul drenched treatment of ferocious punchy horn blasts, pounding drums and frantic turbulent grooves. It may sound like a revival, but Eli is trying to make it all his own, “For me, it’s all about writing pop songs. Soul music was the greatest pop music of the 20th century and its influence is so far-reaching. When I pick up a guitar to write a song, the influence of the music I love invariably comes out. I can’t sing or write any other way than I do.” Gonna be an explosion, indeed.Come and Get It is out August 10 in the U.S.
