Without blinking an eye, the Californian double trouble known as Myron & E bring yet another dose of heavy soul to the table. "Behind Closed Doors" switches gears from their previous material, providing this time a genuine up-tempo dancer. Propelled forward by the mayfieldesque stylings of The Soul Investigators, the tune should shatter knees at any northern soul setting around the globe.
Myron & E's recent lyrical output has balanced neatly between falling in and out of love versus lamenting on the troubles in society. "Behind Closed Doors" sits neatly in the middle. It reflects on infidelity in a relationship by playing with communal situations, where rumors circulate and poison the situation further. The whole thing is turned tongue-in-cheek by some street savvy feminine input near the end. The b-side includes "Turn Back", the opening track from The Broadway album, first time on 45. This beautiful ballad presents the duo and whole group on their strongest and most connected to the modes of their genre. The lyrics don't communicate nostalgia as such, but rather act as a welcome to the fantastic soulful reality, which the listener is about to enter. |
