“Late-blooming soul belter Charles Bradley, who released his debut album in 2011 at the age of 62, is the best kind of retro act: a fully committed one. Victim of Love, Bradley's second LP, makes no bones about the echoes it carries: James Brown, Otis Redding and other Sixties and Seventies soul heroes, evoked with crisp period-perfect production and classicistic arrangements. It's Bradley's voice ”
“The soul singer's second album for Daptone finds him in a more optimistic mood, channeling the sound of 1970s greats like Al Green and Curtis Mayfield, and the sheer power of his voice is undiminished.”
