Canadian rocker Jesse Roper is a breath of fresh air. With his latest release, Horizons he delivered thirteen prodigious tracks that carry the day. His soulful voice and funky aura transports the listener back the the illustrious heyday of Motown. These new songs contain some of Roper‘s best work to date. His songwriting is extremely elevated and with the help of producer Gus Van Go, his arrangements reign supreme.

Horizons dispenses some amazing tunes. “Cool Whip” exemplifies Roper‘s ability to conceive dynamic songs that even though sounding familiar have a modern flair. The beat is eclectic and Roper‘s vocals are full of esoteric meanderings. He has your fingers snapping and your feet tapping. The capricious cadence is wonderful. “Hold On Me” brings the heartfelt rock and roll. The guitar riffs are marvelous and the horns blare with authority. Everything pops with boisterous revelry. Every composition on Horizons has its own flavor. Roper manages to design a superb piece of art. He’s the real deal!
