General Interest Tortoise & The Hare, The .Like Jazzyfatnastees' lauded but little-known debut, The Tortoise & The Hare is a modern soul album of considerable class, not bedevilled by the conservatism that can occasionally hamstring such affairs. The sultry and sophisticated vocal duo reached the apex of their prominence in the late 90s, when fellow Philadelphia natives The Roots began to feature them on their rustic rap albums. Despite some high profile work early in their career--they provided backing vocals on a Stevie Wonder album as long ago as 1995--Mercedes Martinez and Tracey Moore remain among new school soul's best kept secrets."Something in the Way", the inviting opener, benefits from a lush, homely production reminiscent of prime 70s Hi Records territory (think Ann Peebles with a 21st century sheen). "Compelled" strikes out in a rocky direction before reinventing itself, mid-song, as a disco floor-shaker, "El Medio" brings a slice of Mediterranean romance and, for just a couple of seconds, "Show Your Face" threatens to turn into, of all things, "Sweet Home Alabama". At 10 songs, this album is refreshingly focused, and deserves to bring Martinez and Moore to the audience their talent merits. --Angus BateyProduct DescriptionTracy Moore and Mercedes Martinez are spearheading a sub-genre of R&B a refreshingly breathtaking alternative. On their second album, The Tortoise and the Hare, Jazz and Hip-Hop intertwine seamlessly as their gorgeous voices, diverse beats and nuanced lyrics coalesce with soul, soul, soulReview".. as self-assured as their first.
