Free Music Review: A Terrible Disappointment
Hit: 1 Stars
I looked forward to this release as much as anything that came out in 2007. This cd may have been better off as a book of poems. Although there are some beautiful lyrics, the cd comes off as terribly bland and depressing. Not what a Del Amitri fan would expect.
Hopefully his next solo cd will bring back some of the Del Amitri mixed bag of songs that most fans would expect.
What Is Love For Poster
The stunning solo debut from the founder and voice of DEL AMITRI."More than anything, I think that these songs represent the end of my youth," Justin Currie says of What Is Love For, his first solo album and his Rykodisc debut. "I wanted to allow my world-weariness to roam unchecked. And I wanted to be straight about love about how I can't explain it, control it or figure it out."
As lead singer and main songwriter of Scottish rock/popsters Del Amitri, Currie established an enviable reputation for sterling melodic craftsmanship and pithy, forthright lyrics. What Is Love For maintains those qualities, while achieving impressive new levels of musical and emotional immediacy.
"For me," Currie states, "the song 'What Love Is For?' sums up this record, in that it's ostensibly bleak, but underneath, there's a Morse code melody that's telling you something else. "
What Is Love For features 11 Currie compositions whose pensive meditations on love's darker margins are supported by spare, organic arrangements. Such numbers as "Not So Sentimental Now," "Walking Through You," "If I Ever Loved You" and the haunting title track confront their thorny subject matter with a compelling blend of hard-won insight and pointed humor.
Debut Solo Release from the Del Amitri Frontman.
