Rudolph's vocals are rooted in urban r&b, smooth and polished, and while they excel from the technique-oriented, urban viewpoint, they lack the instantly identifiable personality--what we think of as "the voice"--necessary and unique to good southern soul singers. Rudolph references Z.Z. Hill and other southern soul singers in his lyrics, but his vocals belie the connection. Most of his tunes labor in a grey area more familiar to fans of neo-soul in the North. Traditional blues and southern soul fans will not find much to relate to.However, Rudolph is endeavoring to transition into a southern soul singer, at least on the face of it, and at least for the time being, as songs like the overly-derivative "Family Reunion" attest. "Wanna Be A Player" is Corey's best southern soul song to date, musical and driving, full of pent-up energy and the makings of a signature vocal identity.
