Zacchae’us Paul’s latest release, “BETTER MUST COME,” is a mix of traditional and contemporary with swingin’ R&B, jazz, gospel and soul. Instead of merely echoing a traditional hymn, Paul re-conceives it in his own musical language so that traditional spiritual roots can evolve into a contemporary rhythmic language. He’s candid about what he’s trying to do: “honor the tradition, but also push it forward in my own voice. " The best thing about the song is its balance. The record is a tribute to its source of inspiration, carving out its own confident space for Paul’s individuality. “BETTER MUST COME” feels like a real conversation between heritage and modern soul.
