A musical polymath with a deep knowledge and love of vintage soul, R\u0026amp;B, rock and hip-hop, the Philly-born, Nashville-based artist’s second full-length LP (and first for Fantasy) re-imagines modern soul music by redefining its possibilities. With an incisive eye and unassuming swagger, \u003ci\u003eLove You Anyway\u003c\/i\u003e, ignites the mind, and makes the body move.  \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eProduced by Jeremy Lutito (Joy Oladokun, NEEDTOBREATHE) and recorded in Nashville, \u003ci\u003eLove You Anyway\u003c\/i\u003e, confronts as well as comforts. Chronicling Gilfillian’s journey as a Black artist living in the tumult of 21st century America, the album’s 10 original tracks, (all co-written by Gilfillian) are as much about fighting for what you believe in, equity and representation, as it is about love: finding it, making it, and channeling it into every facet of our lives.  \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSummoning an array of musical touchstones amid a rush of unexpected ear-catching twists and turns, \u003ci\u003eLove You Anyway \u003c\/i\u003eis as listenable as it is thought-provoking. The standouts are plentiful. The elegant, “All I Really Wanna Do,” is the LP’s alluring Temps-infused invitation. In quick succession, soulful disruptors, “The Recipe,” and “Right Kind of Crazy,” wrap around “Brown Sugar Queen,” a Prince meets Anderson Paak super-sized jam (featuring rising Swedish pop star Janice.) And while Bill Withers’ slinky gift for melody is evoked on “Better Broken,” don’t be fooled, it’s Gilfillian’s blazing talent and effortless charisma that makes \u003ci\u003eLove You Anyway \u003c\/i\u003esuch a memorable ride. Elsewhere, both “Let The Water Flow,” a spiritual centering on the political earthquake occurring right now in Georgia, and “Righteous,” an unblinking look at racial injustice in America (featuring Nathaniel Rateliff!) are rendered with the grace and self-assurance of an artist in full directional command. Finally, on the impossibly irresistible open-hearted end-title track, “Love You Anyway,” Gilfillian tenderly captures the raw power of acceptance.  \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eLove You Anyway \u003c\/i\u003efollows Gilfillian’s debut album, 2020’s highly regarded, \u003ci\u003eBlack Hole Rainbow\u003c\/i\u003e, which received glowing coverage from NPR, the \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003ePASTE\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Tennessean\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eGarden and Gun \u003c\/i\u003eamong many others.
