Excruciating.
Spanish born Vincent Dean Hauri, or Just Vincent as he likes to be called has apparently recorded music for adverts (Nivea and Clearasil amongst others), and previously sang with a band called Side to Side for one album before striking out on his own and self producing/releasing this album, but it's hard to find any evidence of his previous work from anywhere other than his extraordinarily badly designed website, internet searches bear absolutely no fruit; even his myspace page has only one friend, and that's Tom. Perhaps he's better known in Spain.
The album "Freedom Fighters" is a funk/soul inspired easy listening nightmare. It's cheesy beyond anything you might have heard before and has no memorable moments, no hooks or decent melodies at all. 'Tunes' vary between funk, soul and some kind of dodgy reggae style that will probably make your toes curl. Vincent's voice is bizarre; with more than a touch of Roland Gift (vocalist with Fine Young Cannibals) about it and the odd James Brownesque screech: he occasionally attempts some kind of rap and groans and moans in an irritating whine for much of the record. But the crowning glory has to be the lyrics, which are intensely wearisome and often make no sense at all, usually just consisting of what seem like random phrases: gems like "shake them hips from side to side/ I'm grooving/oh lord" are standard; it's very hard to listen to.
The opening track (no track listing was supplied with the sparse press release) is all funk bass and "all about sunshine/forget about the rain/all about good times". Track two is just about the only vaguely tuneful track and that's only because it sounds like Red Hot Chilli Peppers with Roland Gift on vocals. Things get no better and I won't bore you with further details, except to say, It's very difficult to find anything like a single redeeming feature to recommend this album to anybody, it's very doubtful that even soul fans could handle giving it more than a single listen.
