Soul Ballet: DreamBeatDream

Not surprisingly, Kelly has a knack for music with a cinematic sweep. He's a handsome guy who's directed a few short films and during the last year has guest-starring roles in such hot TV series such as Nip/Tuck and Cold Case. Although cinematic, the Soul Ballet sound is also music you can dance to, even if it's a late-night sway with someone special. The CD title is dead-on—just when is appears a musical lull looms, a percussive beat comes booming back.

Trina Dye and Sera Lynn add comely voice-overs throughout the CD, and Ken Ross blows many seductive horn lines. In fact, horns seem to be a central in many of Soul Ballet's hits, including here on "Cream" and on earlier songs such as "Black Sun."

A second CD included in the package, All the Pretty Lights , has extended remixes of three songs from Soul Ballet's self-titled debut album: The songs are "Love, Juliet," "Man and Woman" and "Exotique." The remix CD directs you to soulballet.com to get the rest of the remix project. This is the kind of stuff that Soul Ballet diehard fans will really groove to, as the selections are perfect for those special chill-out moments with your honey.
