Leon Haywood's *Intimate* arrives as a spirited reissue that reconnects us with the Los Angeles soul-funk virtuoso whose grooves defined the late '70s and early '80s. Originally recorded during his peak years, these tracks exemplify Haywood's gift for crafting sensual, deeply felt soul music that balances disco's shimmer with genuine emotional warmth—no superficial gloss, just a man's voice and the band locked in together. "Let Me Make It Good To You" and "Strokin'" showcase that honeyed vocal delivery and tight musicianship that made him a favorite among producers and fellow musicians, while deeper cuts like "It's Got To Be Mellow" reveal the sophistication beneath the grooves. Funkytowngrooves' reissue thoughtfully includes alternate versions that highlight how Haywood's material had legs, reworked but never diminished. This is essential listening for anyone who knows soul music isn't just about the hits—it's about the artistry, and Haywood had it in abundance.
