In Brief

*** Soul IV Real, “Candy Rain,” Uptown. They may be neophytes, but the Dalyrimple brothers, who make up this soulful quartet, already sound like seasoned pros. The title track, with its jazz-lite underpinnings, is this debut album’s ingratiating showpiece. A version of Patti LaBelle’s “If Only You Knew” also has heart-tugging appeal.

Albums are rated on a scale of one star (poor), two stars (fair), three stars (good) and four stars (essential).
