In his attempt to make music that's restrained, adult and timeless, he's instead crafted songs that seem exhausted and out of date. Listeners looking for laid-back pop-soul that smolders, intrigues and seems thoroughly contemporary should check out Everything but the Girl's supple new CD, Walking Wounded...
