The team of Booker T. and William Bell is one of the great music matches of all time, and it's a real shame that label politics led to each of them getting fed up with the system and heading their separate ways. Bound To Happen stands tall, however, as defiant proof that Stax could have had the same magic after the Atlantic deal ended had they simply done what they always used to do - put the artists first, and let the Stax family flourish as a result. I guess that Stax becoming a business first and a record label second was Bound To Happen, but that didn't stop the partnership between William Bell and Booker T. from delivering one last urgent slice of that good ol' Memphis soul sound. – Rate Your Music

“Singapore-based singer-songwriter Dru Chen unveiled his debut LP, Mirror Work, today. The soul-inspired, 11-track album reflects on Chen's recent experiences on love and loss, struggles with self-acceptance, creative control and outwardly expressing his newfound optimistic outlook. It lists two previously released singles, 'When I Look Into Your Eyes' and 'Distant Memory', and a collaboration with established jazz musician, Chok Kerong, who was the musical director for Charlie Lim's show last year. According to an official press release, Chen explains the sonic direction he chose for the album, "I think there’s a lot of tradition in this record. It’s just a fascination of mine. I’ve always wanted to do something that sounded analog – totally organic and ’70s informed, before the digital age. I’d done a lot of up-beat songs, so I also wanted to do something more mellow. I think I was operating slowly at that time so Side Two of the record is like a bedroom album, something to put on the turntable and just leave it.” – Bandwagon Singapore
