Avery Storm - Fathertime
Producer: The Heatmakerz
Album: Shotgun Love
Label: Universal Motown/Derrty Ent.
As a new father, when I first saw the title of Avery Storm’s new record Fathertime I thought, “Finally! Moms get tribute songs all the time (For Mama), but dads never get any love.” Unfortunately, for me, Fathertime isn’t about spending time with your father, but rather the metaphorical father of time, that force that keeps inexhaustibly pushing our lives closer to death. Fortunately, the song is yet another quality performance from Avery (see previous effort Leader of the Band). Behind the boards frequent collaborators The Heatmakerz craft a beat built around a piano line buoyed by a sharp percussion line and a roaming bass that keep the record out of ballad territory. But, as always, it’s Storm’s eminently distinctive voice that drives the track, going from smooth lulls to powerful exclamations with ease. Love him or hate him, no one else sounds like this, and for my money that makes Fathertime’s original feel more than rewind-worthy. Another song off Storm’s long-delayed delayed album Shotgun Love, another day without a release date; we promise you’ll know as soon as we do.

Avery is two for his last two (baseball terms, people) inside the Booth. This is the type of material I hope the singer continues to churn out. This is his lane. Now, lets hope people drive down it.

This is exactly the type of R&B I love to listen to... Interesting meaning behind a happy sounding production, and soulful piano and vocals.

I love his guest features, but he has yet to impress me solo.

Avery Storm isn't my cup of tea. This song sounded boring to me and his vocals were unbearable at certain points in the song. I'll pass. 1.5

I'm more than on the record as an Avery fan. He's got one of those voices, like Fantasia, that's far from "perfect", but that just makes his style that much more engaging. If Shotgun Love ever drops, and if it's filled with tracks like this, I'll be a happy, happy man.

Not very good. So far there is no one other than Trey Songz, Usher, and Akon who would make me like R&B.

Avery's vocals sound so strained at some parts of this track that it gets hard to enjoy the rest the track has to offer and actually does a disservice to this banger production.
