4th Studioalbum! 17 Tracks featuring Sizzla, Alborosie, Diana King, Jack Radics & Daddy Rings! "Another Intensity" sees Gentleman having arrived at another level. His music and his charismatic live appearances have affected audiences throughout the world. This summer, "Another Intensity" will be released in sixteen countries including the UK, USA, and Japan. In a sense, the two-and-a-half years that Gentleman has spent on tour with "Confidence" - months that passed in the wink of an eye - have yielded richest fruits.
"Another Intensity" is one of these albums where the song preference alters each time you listen to the recording. Sometimes the bursting energy grips you that Sizzla and Gentleman develop on the haunting "Lack Of Love"; sometimes it's the lightness of the guitar sounds that seem to be skipping along to the uplifting melody of "Pursuit Of Happiness". The melodic power of songs like "Different Places", "Evolution", and "Tranquility" predestines them to become future classics; they have already become solid coordinates on the set lists for the upcoming festival appearances and the worldwide concert tour. But there are also manifold small details and nuances that turn "Another Intensity" into a voyage of discovery; be it the irresistible vocal parts that infuse the entire album like a golden thread, or be it the wonderfully warm acoustic guitar of "Soulfood", which places the melancholic song in the realms of a world-music evergreen. A little dub here, some hidden brass sections there, even some well-tempered Hammond sounds. The golden dozen of songs that make the core of the album is characterized by a tenderness and aplomb that make one conclude that nothing and nobody can warp Gentleman from his inner balance, his often quoted "serenity". The album is freshened up by three or four songs based mainly on dancehall riddims and hiphop beats. "Soulfood" and "Mount Zion" were produced by Cologne-based hiphop producer Benny Blanco, an up and coming young artist of whom we might yet hear a lot in the near future.
A major tour through Germany is scheduled for the autumn 2007 and next year a world tour is planned to promote the new album, in the course of which a live album will be recorded. Apart from the USA, concerts are planned for Senegal, Gambia, Japan, and South America. "Then, in late 2008 or early 2009, I will finally be able to relax completely, maybe take a boating certificate and then slowly prepare for a new album. With a different calmness about me." Inner tranquility and certitude should not be too difficult for Gentleman to obtain. After all, his own songs, words of wisdom and perception rendered with his distinctive, smooth, and guttural voice, are the best imaginable guideline.
