Drifting Along

Fourteen years ago Chris Walker delivered a top 40 and R&B hit with the memorable "Take Time." The record showcased the multitalented Walker's novel crooning style and spirited jazz licks. He has since worked behind the scenes as musical director for Al Jarreau and a collaborator for Bob James, Regina

Belle and Carole Bayer Sager. What a pleasant surprise to spin "Drifting Along," one of the more immediate and melodic indie singles of the year. There is a timeless feel to the midtempo pleading-for-love song, with a layered chorus that is one continuous four-line hook. Walker will promptly draw in unsuspecting listeners with a simple, affecting song that casts its spell with the sheer scope of the artist's talent. Kindly search this one out.—Chuck Taylor
