‘Detroit Block Party’
The Infatuations (Acid Groove)
4 stars out of 5
The Infatuations, one of the Motor City’s best-kept musical secrets, seem poised to raise their profile considerably. The six-member rock and soul collective have a dynamite new album out in “Detroit Block Party” and recently took home five Detroit Music Awards. Fans of modern throwbacks like Fitz & the Tantrums, Eli “Paperboy” Reed and Mayer Hawthorne need to track down a copy of this gem.
The “Party” gets off to a fast start with “Tonight We Celebrate” and “Dancin’ on My Knees,” and The Infatuations keep the hits coming with “Harley Girl,” “Let It Ride,” “Box of shells,” “Drop Top Lover” and set closer “Down Jefferson.” Can’t wait for these guys to bring their act to the Burgh. You better believe I’ll be there. (Jeffrey Sisk)
