Free Music Notes for Manage the Damage
Free Music Review: Manages the Damage rather remarkably
Hit: 5 Stars
Jimmy Somerville is an artist who incorporates the disco/70's style of music into the dance and EBM genre (like the lounge singer meets a modern Donna Summer). His voice flows with today's dance and electronica. A welcome soloist in the tradition of The Pet Shop Boys, but much more layered and enriched with his falsetto vocal ranges. Only the British could produce an operatic quality male singer as the "pushing 40"- but still with vision- Jimmy Somerville. A tenor with eurodisco in his blood, and even though eurodisco is getting a bad rap these days, Jimmy proves with all of these tracks that he's got "Something To Live For"... for "This Must Be Love". A beautiful man with unmatched vocals and talent.

Manage The Damage by Jimmy SomervilleThis product is manufactured on demand using CD-R recordable media. Amazon.com's standard return policy will apply.
Working with cowriter and coproducer Sally Herbert, Somerville has crafted a fine dance-pop album. There aren't any big surprises lurking within these 11 tracks, just a batch of tasteful arrangements and nuanced production accompanying Somerville's unfaltering falsetto. "Something to Live For" opens with a pop-ballad intro, but soon shifts gears into an uptempo, affirmative dance track tinged with melancholy. The song's attitude and vibe recall '70s disco classics like Gloria Gaynor's "I Will Survive." Manage the Damage's high point is the masterful pop gem "This Must Be Love," in which Somerville's relaxed singing is propelled by a trip-hop undertow and then a swooning bridge blossoms into a lovely chorus that's both dreamy and irresistibly catchy. The disc's last tune, "Rolling," features floating strings buoyed by a hypnotic bass line. The accompaniment nicely supports Somerville's vocals on this well-chosen closer. --Fred Cisterna
