"Where Is The Love" was nominated for the 2004 Grammy Award for Best R&B Performance By A Duo Or Group With Vocals.

On this contemporary R&B/soul jazz recording, his first solo release in a decade, bassist Stanley Clarke has taken in elements of contemporary pop music including hip-hop, urban groove, and world music, in addition to his well-known jazz-leanings as an electric and acoustic player. To give the proceedings a touch of authenticity and spark, Clarke has brought some friends on board including producer Quincy Jones, rapper Q-Tip, guitarist Joe Satriani and--hold onto your hat--Oprah Winfrey.

The low-key hip-hop of the title track, featuring Q-Tip, introduces some street cred to the outing, while radio-friendly smooth pop like the cover of the R&B classic "Where Is the Love" keep things firmly in the middle of the road. The Gypsy Kings-ish ballad "Los Callabos" contrasts with the electro-boogie of "Bout the Bass" and the grind-groove of "Hair" (with electric guitar courtesy of Satriani). The album's quiet moments--Clarke's solo bass features, the lyrical, ambient "Peace," and Oprah reading Maya Angelou's poem "I Shall Not Be Moved"--throw a dash of introspection into the mix.
