Free Music Notes for Honey
Free Music Review: One of his best
Hit: 4 Stars
Palmer always produced solid music and strong, yet varied albums. Honey is no exception. Released during a popularity downslide after his 80's commercial success, Honey is a personal album of mixed styles, starting with the sweet, moving to pop and eventually elevating to perhaps Palmer's heaviest work near the end. I was 16 when I got this album (and when it was released) so was more interested in his heavier work. He's on fire with the rock tracks here. The softer tracks grew on me later.
1. Honey A is a gentle opener. Nice African beats and vocals which lead straight into
2. Honey B which is a classic RP style. Kind of like of Every Kind Of People but more up tempo.
3. You're Mine is slower and grittier with horns blaring and heavy guitar in the style of Simply Irresistible. A good track but let down a little by the off beat chorus.
4. Know By Now is one of RP's best. It's straight up commercial pop/rock. I love this song.
5. Nobody But You is a good track without being great. Another change of style but with a similar tempo to Know By Now. Nice vocals and changes with a steel drum thrown in at the end.
6. Love Takes Time is a soulful finger clicking ballad. Nice song.
7. Honeymoon is a nice short soft interlude. The song would fit on RP's Don't explain (the second half) or Ridin' High. Perhaps would have been better suited to one of the these albums.
8. You Blow Me Away is one of RP's best. Light and heavy all in one it grabs you on first listen. Sweeping, catchy melody - should have been a hit.
9. Close To The Edge is a nice vocal track. Good beats that lead into the even better
10. Closer To The Edge which is the rock version of the previous track. This song is awesome and shows RP is as competent at rock as he is reggae, jazz or blues. One of his best.
11. Girl U Want is a Devo cover and the first single from the album. Again one of RP's best ever; it's fast, hard and catchy.
12. Wham Bam Boogie carries the rock theme with a slight twist - a boogie twist.
13. Big Trouble is a hard edged romp. One of RP's heaviest ever and hard to like.
14. Dreams Come True is soft musical end to one of RP's most diverse and best albums.
It probably has too much of a mix of styles to appeal to those not true RP fans, but I highly recommend you give it a try - if you can find it. It's RP at his softest and heaviest all in the space of 50 minutes.
