"Critically acclaimed" is a description that often feels cliche and exaggerated when used to describe a lesser known artist. For Jef Kearns, however, the words ring absolutely true. James Tormé (vocalist, radio, and son of jazz great Mel Tormé) lauded Jef as having "a really lyrical way of (playing the flute), not quite like anyone else.” Jonathan Widran (critic for the All Music Guide, Billboard Magazine etc.) said of him: “The soulful, melodic and eminently grooving flute master Jef Kearns brings a colorful background into a cool, sophisticated sound that blends the cutting edge of Soul and Hip Hop rhythms with explosive Jazz improvisations." Veteran mastering engineer Tom Coyne (Beyonce, Adele, D'Angelo, Michael Jackson) states "His compositions and beats are both really strong. Beautiful flute performance on really good quality pop music." And upon mastering this particular remix said to Jef ""Your music keeps getting better and better ..." The original version of Back Again can be found on Jef Kearns' sophomore and breakthrough album, Soulfisticated. Soulfisticated simultaneously hit #1 Best Seller for Soul-Jazz and #2 for Contemporary R&B on Amazon.com. This makes it an historically significant album for the flute in genres dominated by vocalists. The "Back Again (Q-Pon Remix)" is a decisively pop take on the R&B ballad with a pounding drum that may just inspire your heart beat along to this anthem of renewed faith in love.
