Gregory Porter sounds agitated by his standards. Hello, humanity, will this still be something with love? In the song of the same name, he wants to know how things are with the “Capacity To Love” and leaves the soul zone for a few bars, the velvety forgiving nature he usually languishes with in his baritone. Ibrahim Maalouf’s trumpet entwines the voice, corresponding to the emphasis, followed by a breakbeat, a saxophone that sounds like a shawm, and keyboards like from the Miles Davis eighties. All in all a quite unusual title track for an album.
