For some, it may seem pretentious to compare Temporary Tears to coming-of-age works such as Stevie Wonder’s 1973 opus Innervisions or Lauryn Hill’s 1998 set The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill. However, both sets were semi-autobiographical projects that marked a pivotal turning point in each artist’s career. Temporary Tears is a deeply reflective muse on the tearful moments of Martin’s own life. However, the message is that tears are temporary and dry eyes will prevail with God’s help. Against a backdrop of sophisticated urban instrumentation, Martin sings of the premature loss of his mother, his near-death battle with kidney disease, ridding himself of false friends, and simply trying to find his footing as a man. Temporary Tears is not an album full of tracks. Instead, it’s a short story broken up into separate tracks. There are stellar appearances from gospel royals such as Kirk Franklin and Kierra Sheard; but Martin’s smooth and comforting tenor is the notepad upon which this musical open letter was written.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41500261056609,"sku":"0014998423826","price":4.29,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/orig_10036896_373026_jpg.jpg?v=1738593818","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/0014998423826-temporary-tears","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
