The songs on Good City For Dreamers are carefully formed and executed, pulling not only from Stevie Wonder and the Beatles and Sly Stone but also West Coast sunshine pop, film composers, 80s synth-pop, indie rock, and of course, hip-hop and soul.
Good City for Dreamer sounds and feels like it was created by a full band, even if it was just RV on his Clavinet, his drum machines, his acoustic piano; everything, in fact, but the strings and horns.
