Incredible vocalist!
How I Got Into This Music
Discovered this artist’s talents by way of the Zero 7 albums, he sings on some tracks and always completely blows me away with that voice: Mozez. (tag:mozez)
So, when I found out he had a solo album on the market, So Still, I just had to find out if it was any good..

Tracks that got my attention:
Feel Free
Great intro, that voice flowing sweetly..
Baby Blue
Moody, Zero 7 flavour
Trouled Mind
Reminding me a bit of Marvin Gaye here and yes, unavoidable and true: a bit like Seal
Somehow Now
Uplifting and positive feeling
Fuzz
Heheh, yep, the Nightmares On Wax track reworked with Mozez’ vocals, great background vocals/choir
Venus Rise
Love the intro and the sci-fi theme, great track!
Beautiful Day
Zero 7’s Henry Binns repaying the favor on this track
Conclusion
It’s my fault.. I kinda expected waaaay too much from a solo production by this artist. I was so impressed by and in love with this guy’s voice. I forgot to prepare myself for the worst let-down of all: it’s not a bad album, it’s an okay, not bad album. Sigh..
Things sound just a bit too much alike, not a lot of diversity.
The voice? Don’t get me wrong, it still is one of the most beautiful things I’ve ever heard: some Marvin Gaye, a little bit of Al Green, awesome.
If you like stuff by Seal, you’ll probably love this album. Just not my taste, sadly..
Rating: 
(damn those high hopes..)
[...] No earth-shattering changes (well, besides the absence of three of their vocalists, including Mozes), but just enough to make you notice, just enough to make you wanna sit down and really, really [...]
