With his latest, Lovin' You Direct, Davis once again captures remnants of those grooves from the past; only this time with all original compositions. Davis's warm voice is quite appealing throughout, though unfortunately marred in many places by paper thin synthesized programming and production miscues. Despite those flaws, Lovin' You Direct brings back a few pleasing doses of old school soul reminiscing.
