His tenth studio album, Strut, was released in September 2014 and looks back on the 1970's metropolis of funky after-hours grooves and soulful hooks. Named one of Rolling Stone's Top Albums of 2014, the album includes such titles as "New York City," "I Never Want to Let You Down" and "She's a Beast."
