This lighthearted offering from Detroit's Terrence Parker introduces his uplifting and soulful house sounds to the world. Beginning with the majestic underground classic "Emancipation of my Soul," the album works its way through all aspects of the Parker sound, ranging from anthemic piano-and-organ tracks ("House Ghost") to disjointed hip-hop cut-ups ("88 Phat Ivory Keys"), balanced by mellow midtempo cuts like "Your Love" and "Plastic Soul Junkie"--all tied together by Parker's raw production and solid songwriting skills. "Tragedies" successfully deploys the energetic and invigorating feeling of house music without straying into the syrupy-sweet cheeseball sound that gives the genre a bad name. --Matthew Corwine
