The Detroit quintet Enchantment broke out in a big way in 1976 with two smash hits that rose near the top of the R&B charts, "Sunshine" and the quiet storm ballad, "Gloria." Both songs highlighted what was best about Enchantment: Solid group harmonies, a sense of drama and the chilling falsetto of lead singer, Emmanuel "E.J." Johnson. But for all the praise that the group's two hits received, the accompanying debut album was otherwise pretty mediocre, and it wasn't clear whether the act was a two-hit wonder or whether there was more gas in the tank.

Where do listeners look to find evolution in the music of a consistently stable artist such as Ty Causey? For my money, the evolution comes in refinements in Causey’s songwriting. Listeners will hear the growth when listening to False Faces, the latest project from the Fort Wayne native.
