Simon is a singer whose past work has been in the Southern rhythm and blues idiom, with an emphasis on almost country-like ballad material.
He is famous for his mellow, restrained, but extremely forceful vocal presence and his ability to interpret a lyric.
The toning down fits in with the intimate, contemplative feel of the record (and also with Simon's less versatile, though richer, voice), but I somehow still miss all that extra pzazz they put into their Butler albums.
