Michael Franks is a master of sophisticated contemporary jazz with pop sensibilities, and Skin Dive showcases his talents as vocalist, composer, and bandleader. Released on Warner Bros., this album finds Franks at ease in a style blending jazz-funk grooves with smooth, accessible melodies and distinctly contemporary arrangements. His voice is intimate and conversational, delivered over lush production that never overwhelms. The supporting musicians are first-rate—the rhythm section locks into grooves that feel both loose and precise, while horns and strings add color without cluttering the mix. Franks has always occupied a space between jazz sophistication and pop accessibility, and Skin Dive exemplifies that balance. The material spans moods from upbeat funk-influenced pieces to dreamy, introspective passages. This is jazz that sounds effortless, the mark of a seasoned professional who knows exactly what he's doing.
