Review by Adam Oded

Alright, let’s dive into Ain’t It Funny by The Admirations. This funky little soul gem from the US, released under Hull Records, might not have set the world on fire back in the day, but man, it’s got that understated charm you can’t ignore. If you’re into raw soul vibes with just enough grit to keep things real, this one’s worth a spin. First off, the title track, “Ain’t It Funny,” hits different. It’s one of those tunes where the groove sneaks up on you. You think it’s just gonna be another smooth soul jam—and don’t get me wrong, it is—but there’s something about how loose and effortless it feels. The vocals are warm, like someone’s telling you a story over a late-night drink. And that bassline? Sticky as heck. It lingers in your head long after the song ends. I found myself humming it while folding laundry, which, honestly, doesn’t happen often unless a track really clicks. Then there’s “Moonlight.” Now, this one leans more introspective compared to the playful energy of “Ain’t It Funny.” There’s a kind of hazy, dreamy vibe here that makes you wanna sit back and stare at the ceiling for a bit. The way they layer the harmonies gives it this floaty quality, almost like you're drifting through clouds. It’s simple, sure, but sometimes simplicity does the trick when it comes to soul music. Plus, who doesn’t love a good moonlit anthem? What sticks with me most about this album isn’t some big dramatic moment or flashy production—it’s how unpretentious it feels. These guys weren’t trying to reinvent the wheel; they just wanted to make people feel good. And honestly? That’s kinda refreshing these days. Too many artists try too hard to impress, ya know? So yeah, Ain’t It Funny won’t change your life or anything, but it’s the kind of record that grows on you. Like an old sweater you forgot you loved until you pull it out again. Oh, and fun fact—I listened to this whole thing during a power outage last week (thanks, storm), and somehow it felt even better without all the distractions. Weird, right? Guess that says something about its staying power.

I’m looking for a copy of this record on the red Hull label. Do you have a copy to sell?
