With 2008's THE ARRIVAL, the Philadelphia-based R&B duo Kindred the Family Soul, consisting of husband and wife Fatin Dantzler and Aja Graydon, presents a set often steeped in a vintage 1970s sound, yet still assuredly contemporary. Highlights of the album include the tender "House of Love" and the uplifting "No Limit." minimize
