This is the first studio album from Londonbeat since bad diagnosis in 1995. This -song debut EP shows the promise that Londonbeat has. Stanley Donwood has compared writing for Londonbeat’s new album to that on ‘Best! The Singles’ - but has declared the lyrics will be even more terrifying. This album is in perfect progression from Londonbeat!
You Bring On The Sun is amazing work of Londonbeat. Londonbeat rocks harder than ever with A Better Love. Opening track Come Back shows the best of Londonbeat. Although This Is Your Life is very melodic it is far from sad. Build It With Love is the first taste of the new album. In No Woman No Cry it becomes nowhere more obvious that Londonbeat has yet to define own style. You Make Me Do Things great lyrics, dark, deep, angry and cool.It is succeeded by an outstanding track, however: There’s A Beat Going On (Deep House Mix), which shows, blatantly, how much Londonbeat has evolved as a singer. Lover You Send Me Colours have really caught my ear and imagination. How I Feel About You on Best! The Singles is solid and easy to listen to. The first time I listened to Failing In Love Again I was struck by its cool sound. Overall a nice softer song. You Love And Learn defines beauty, yet is as unforgiving as an astringent stone. 9AM (The Comfort Zone) pretty much defines how I feel spiritually. Some of the arrangements found on Best! The Singles are surprisingly edgy.
