Free Music Notes for Promises and Lies
Free Music Review: One of their Best
Hit: 5 Stars
This is one of UB40's best and includes on of their most recognizable recordings - Can't Help Falling in Love with You. My favorite on the album is BRING ME YOUR CUP - very very nice song. Although I've been listening to this album for 14 years now, I have never grown tired of it. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! Irie mon! :)
Promises and Lies Poster
It's no coincidence that UB40's biggest hits and most pleasurable songs have been their reggae-rock remakes of other acts' songs--Neil Diamond's "Red Red Wine," Sonny and Cher's "I Got You Babe," the Chi- Lites' "Homely Girl," Bob Dylan's "I'll Be Your Baby Tonight," and so on. Only 1 of the 11 numbers on Promises and Lies is a cover tune, but the band's remake of Elvis Presley's "Can't Help Falling in Love" is a real treat. Featured in the film Sliver, the ballad gets a new momentum from UB40's horns and rhythm section and finds its obsessive quality reinforced by the reggae-dub echoes. The album also includes "Reggae Music," a delightful dancehall workout which neatly balances Astro's reggae toasting against Ali and Robin Campbell's sweetly sung pop-soul hook. Unfortunately, the other 9 songs are full of steady grooves and admirable sentiments but little in the way of melody or fresh ideas that might separate them from hundreds of similar reggae exercises. --Geoffrey HimesInternational Music CDs
