Et-King had a couple years of singles under their belt before moving into full-length album territory in 2007, but
Love & Soul attempted to collect those singles and add a new element to the sound of the band. The group was making a name for themselves with a mix of laid-back instrumental tracks, highly cadenced rap sections, and the off-key choruses that have come to characterize the band and much of modern Japanese R&B. The group was encapsulated by their debut in their most illustrative form. ~ Adam Greenberg
