    “Sherrod
delivers
a
sequence
of
spine
chilling
gems
that
sit
somewhere
between
smooth
R
&
B
and
urban
jazz.
In
fact
Seasons
includes
contributions
from
several
A‐list
performers
but
rather
than
puzzling
at
just
how
Sherrod
has
managed
to
assemble
so
many
great
artists
in
the
same
place
at
the
same
time,
it
is
adequate
to
luxuriate
in
the
sublime
artistry
his
musicality
so
effortlessly
engenders.”
