Rooted in the best traditions of midwest soul labels like King, Curtom, Dakar, and the Boddie Recording Company, the latest solo release from The Monophonics frontman is a testimony that these deep cut grooves are not resigned to nostalgia.

Instead, they are at the burning heart of Finnigan’s sonorous sound, reigning fresh today under his passionate guidance.

From up-tempo Northern Soul stompers to Boom Bap hard hitters, Deep Soul rousers and emotional soul-stirrers, the songs on ‘A Lover Was Born’ reconfigure the spliced and sampled DNA of hip-hop (extracted by crate diggers like Dilla and RZA) to create something new, underscoring both the spectrum and depth of soul while making a case to the timelessness of Finnigan’s sound. All the while, the voice is raw and earthy — in the best tradition of R&B shouters like Otis Redding, Lee Moses, and David Ruffin.
