Jack Splash, the man who blessed us with “The Return Of Jack Splash” in 2004 is back. Like is debut, “Time Traveler” provides plenty of soulful eighties styled funk that made Jack so enjoyable to listen to. The title track is certainly one of the highlights, thanks to the soulful horns, the laidback groove and the sunny upbeat vibe it projects. “Your Love” is another rhythmic track that is taylor made for Jack’s appealing vocals, again capturing that warm happy feeling that he receives from his girl. Except for a couple of misfires like “Take It Off” and “U Mess It Up, So We Took It Back”, Jack maintains a tight funky groove throughout. Even wrapping up the disc with the ballad “Fool For U”, which sounds very much like the Isley Brothers “Don’t Say Goodnight”. Nonetheless, it shows that Jack is equally skilled at massaging a ballad as he is bringing the funk. Jack Splash provides us with an entertaining disc full of lighthearted funky grooves, much like his debut. If you enjoyed the first disc, you will certainly enjoy this one.
