It’s Kirk’s first major attempt to fuse jazz, gospel, soul and pop, with an over-arching message of peace and unity holding it together. The short track Search for the Reason Why gets to the nub of this, with a choir singing ‘Music that makes us cry, love that money can’t buy, let’s all search for the reason why’. It has an infectious, ragged, community centre vibe that works perfectly, with Kirk leading and singing from the front.
