Review: French label Favorite, headed up by Charles Maurice AKA Pascal Rioux, specialise in reissuing obscure funk, soul and jazz from the 60s, 70s and 80s. Here, the label boss brings us the fifth in a series of compilations celebrating the more "sophisticated and grown-up" end of the late 70s/early 80s soul spectrum - which means lots of smooth soul-jazz and 'quiet storm' stylings. It'll all be a bit suave/sickly/smoochy for some, admittedly, but there are some quality mellow moments on offer for sure - see, for instance, the lounge-funk of Esperanto's 'Kailua' or Sugar Cane's blissed-out 'What You Do To Me'.
