Bleep

Released at the turn of the millennium, Love’s Arrival is a standout selection of romantic deep house cuts from the legend Larry Heard. Heard’s smooth vocals dominate the album’s warm, soothing backdrop of jazz and funk inflections, his breathy presence adding to the smoke of ‘Deja Vu’ with glittering keys and the subtle wobble of nocturnal pads and the passionate lyrics recited on ‘When I Think Of You’ atop complex piano chords. ‘Dew Drops’ is a contemplative moment with rebounding percussion, where one can marvel at the array of synths Heard has at his disposal, all fitting into the irresistible groove.
