Eric Gadd became a Swedish star with his gentle soul music laced with some funk, a little disco and a touch of R&B. Gadd truly lives up to the smooth-soul description that's thrown on so many of his contemporaries—and these essential tracks show off his silky voice and warm, grooving arrangements. Gadd broke into the pop mainstream with his cheekily-titled Do You Believe in Gadd? in 1991. In the nearly three decades that followed, Gadd remained at the top of his class, releasing a steady stream of Swedish and English albums and taking home several Swedish Grammis Awards.
