Jimmy Needham: ‘Vice & Virtue’ album review

Andy Argyrakis

Armed with an ultra-smooth voice and some seriously contagious R&B grooves, Jimmy Needham could just as readily rule the dance floor as stir the soul. Wrapped around production from Will Hunt (Crowder, Shane & Shane) and some extra seasoning from rapper KB, the singer/songwriter turns in his most confessional lyrics yet, making this brave new batch not only a career cornerstone, but also a soundtrack for anyone looking to recalibrate their faith through a lens of unvarnished authenticity.
