The singer and songwriter of
contemporary rhythm and blues known as E3 has re-released his debut
solo LP record, “One Soul [Deluxe Edition].” Ellis “E3” Hall
III is the son of Ellis Hall Jr., singer of Tower of Power in the
1980s, whose solo music has been honored and enjoyed by such names as
Ella Fitzgerald, Stevie Wonder and Ray Charles, as well as by
magnates like Jackie Onassis and Bill Clinton. This deluxe re-release
of E3's debut LP features bonus tracks and instrumentals not
available in the original edition, and has been proudly published on
the E3 Publishing Co. independent record label. Crisp, slick, packed
with groove and graced by crystal-smooth harmonies, “One Soul” by
E3 is easily the most arresting R&B and rap crossover record to
be released in years.
E3 cites as main artistic influences
such legends as his father, Ellis Hall Jr., James Brown, Sting, Anita
Baker, Stevie Wonder, D'Angelo, Timbaland, Earth, Wind & Fire,
James Taylor, and Bob Marley. Of these, his own style has most in
common with the mood and tone of Stevie Wonder, as well as those of
his father, though E3's music is more contemporary in terms of
instrumentation than either. In terms of his popular natural singing
voice, E3 is reminiscent of soul artist Donny Hathaway, whom E3 has
named as his chief inspiration as a singer.
In addition to the considerable talents
of E3, himself, his “One Soul” LP also features vocals by New
York's Shae Fiol, Boston rapper D Brown, Canada's “Ambassador of
Rap” Kardinal Offishall, and ex-Def Jam rapper, Redman. As might be
intuited from these names, the rhythm-and-blues portions of “One
Soul” are interspersed with heavy-hitting sections of rap music.
E3 has worked with the likes of MC
Lyte, Method Man, Saukrates, Termanology, Micheal Whalen, and
Choclair. His music has been played on Flow 93.5 FM Toronto, MTV,
VH1, Much Music, BET, and more. He is a member of Gilla House
Records, an independent music movement captained by Reggie “Redman”
Noble. His discography includes Dreamworks' “Biker Boyz Motion
Picture Soundtrack,” Method Man's “Tical 0: The Prequel” on Def
Jam, Redman's “Red Gone Wild” also on Def Jam, Michael Whalen's
“Mysterious Ways,” and the PBS basketball documentary, “This Is
A Game, Ladies.”
Originally recorded between 2002-'07 in
Boston, Toronto, and Los Angeles, the “One Soul [Deluxe Edition]”
by E3 features selections converted to 5.1 Surround Sound, for which
the album won the award for Best Standard Resolution Title at the
2005 Surround Sound Music Awards.
“One Soul [Deluxe Edition]” by E3
is available from E3 Publishing Co. online worldwide. Fans of
excellent R&B and rap music should get in early.
