Baby Washington sounds beautifully urgent on "I've Got To Stop Loving You". The record lands like a fresh cut with enough ache to feel current, not archival, and that tension makes it hard to shake.
The arrangement moves with velvety brass, clipped drums, and a vocal that sits close to the mic. Each phrase carries a clean edge, with the band leaving just enough space for the hurt to bloom.
Late-afternoon drives and dim apartment speakers both suit this one. Few singers make longing sound this polished, and Washington turns the whole thing into a quiet little stunner.
