A fine piece of soft rock that combines lyricism and sophistication.
A pop rock album by Paul Carrack, featuring an 80's sound based on synthesizers, blended with warm vocals and melodies.
This album showcases Paul Carrack's songwriting, with each track possessing a clear melody line and quality harmonies. The vocals are calm, with restrained expression adding depth to the songs. The arrangements incorporate elements of pop music of the time, but are well-balanced without being excessive. The synths and guitars intertwine smoothly, and the precision of the rhythm section stands out. The recording is clear, with good sound separation. There is a natural flow from up-tempo songs to ballads, and a calm consistency throughout the album. This is a well-listened pop-rock album that blends an urban sensibility with a human touch.
