With this set he fuses hip-hop beats and rhymes, the funky bass and ensemble vibe of Sly \u0026amp; the Family Stone, and the soulfulness of Stevie Wonder. On Hoopla, Speech's inclination toward sociopolitical commentary--exemplified by the sloganistic \"Ask Somebody Who Ain't (If U Think the System's Workin')\" from his solo debut, Speech--makes way for introspection. On \"Clock's in Sync with Mine,\" he likens himself and the subject of his affection to \"two peas in a pod\" and drives the spirit of the tune home with a joyously funky Parliament-style ending. The sensuous \"Real Love\" recalls Marvin Gaye with its smooth and soulful rhythm track and delicious backing vocals. Halfway through the set Speech asks a rapturous audience, \"Are you still with me?\", and with this deeply funky and engaging album the answer is a resounding \"yes.\" --Michael Wells      Product description      Speech ~ Hoopla\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eUPC:\u003c\/b\u003e 016581197022\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEAN:\u003c\/b\u003e 0016581197022\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguages:\u003c\/b\u003e english\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding:\u003c\/b\u003e Audio CD\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eItem Condition:\u003c\/b\u003e UsedVeryGood\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ID Shop.ca","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45961506619426,"sku":"Y7-3PZC-BG53","price":8.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0889\/9428\/3554\/files\/51lixK2qjfL.jpg?v=1783645704","url":"https:\/\/kastor.club\/products\/hoopla","provider":"Kastor","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
