Product Description
Amazon.ca
The second disc by Toronto group Jacksoul offers a stylish visit to the old school of soul, albeit with some shiny new-school production values. Though Jacksoul's 1996 debut, Absolute, was more of a group effort, here Jacksoul seem less a band than a vehicle for vocalist Haydain Neale, whose slightly gruff and highly expressive voice recalls that of soul legend Bobby Womack. Neale wrote and recorded much of Sleepless in collaboration with the highly prolific team of Jon Levine and James McCollum, members of Toronto's Philosopher Kings who also record as the cartoon act Prozz"äk and made hits for teen act b4-4. It was Levine who wrote and produced Sleepless highlight "Can't Stop," which became ubiquitous on Top 40 radio thanks to its catchy combination of strummed acoustic guitars, an infectious trip-hop beat, and Neale's romantic expressions of everlasting devotion. Levine and McCollum's contributions tend to be more distinctive than Neale's more generic efforts, but Neale's slow-burning "Don't Tell Me" serves as a memorable climax for Sleepless. A sleek, slinky cover of Hall & Oates's "She's Gone" (co-produced by Levine and Toronto rapper Jelleestone) is another highlight on a disc that seems tailor-made for late-night listening. --Jason Anderson

I love this album,

This review is from: Sleepless (Audio CD)
I really enjoy this album. The songs are all good, very good in fact, and Haydain Neale has a great voice, perfect for soul music. I could listen to this album all day and never get tired of it. Even the hit songs never seem to get annoying to me, from being overplayed, unlike a lot of songs on the radio. I recommend this album highly. Anyone who enjoys Seal will love Jacksoul. The booklet doesn't have the lyrics, but there is a website address advertised in the booklet that has them.

Jacksoul is one cool individual, musically speaking. Great CD, sounds like other British soul artists and reminds me of Seal. Very enjoyable listening for the soul...
