X-Ray Ted continues his bona fide mission to bring smiles to faces with another top-shelf release that delivers a full-on funk assault. This time out the Bristol beat smith unleashes two tracks, both packed with sun-kissed vibes and feel-good warmth. The title track 'Talkin' layers strings, horn hooks, and guitar licks over a bed of rolling beats and bass, all topped with a soul-infused earworm of a vocal. 'So Much' is no less infectious with vocal refrains interplaying with guitar parts and horns to deliver a perfect blend of vintage-sounding soulful beats. Another outstanding release to add to the burgeoning X-Ray Ted anthology.
