With each new single Curtis Harding shares from his upcoming sophomore LP, we gain a wider idea of what sort of creative direction the Atlanta soul singer and multi-instrumentalist is headed with the new release. “Need Your Love” is the third cut from to be revealed from Face Your Fear and it finds Harding riding a rousing gospel-funk groove that serves as a springboard for his ecstatic vocals and roof-raising hooks. While Harding’s 2014 debut, Soul Power, maintained a heavy dose of greasy garage rock grit, these latest tracks sound more measured and refined — yet no less stirring. It’s the sound of an artist growing into their sound and approaching their craft with greater confidence and command.
