On his own, Miller is comfortable rinsing and repeating, soporifically drifting over three-minute-long verse-chorus structures. Music Review: Van Morrison's hot streak continues with "Three Chords and the Truth," his 6th studio album in 4 years and some of the most easygoing-in-a-good-way music he's released in ages. Great to read your review while knowing i was about to see van the man playing 2 weeks ago in London, but Corona screwed things up. If that sounds way too outside the realm of canonization, consider that Kanye burned that bridge sometime around the sixth “update” delivered to streaming services of his 2016 album The Life of Pablo, or when he replaced an entire beat on 2018’s Ye days after its release. With its thinly veiled innuendos, the playful, Selena Gomez-assisted “Ice Cream” attempts to channel Red Velvet’s oddball exuberance, but the song’s reluctance to expand on its three-note hook quickly becomes tedious. What on earth has gone right? On Astral Weeks, it was producer Lewis Merenstein who did most of the communicating for the singer when tape wasn’t rolling. The album is a rote and low-energy jaunt by Van Morrison through the Great American Songbook. “Do the coat,” she quips on the playful “Cool on You” in a seeming reference to The Devil Wears Prada, released the previous year. Van Morrison: The Prophet Speaks review – laid-back, old-school R&B 3 out of 5 stars. Both critics were already fans of Morrison and especially Astral Weeks, and it’s heartening to read their enthusiasm extending to the well-earned success that was awaiting Morrison around the corner. Mariah’s vocals on the album, layered with those of her friend Clarissa Dane, boast a distinctive lilt reminiscent of Courtney Love’s—no surprise given that Mariah was reportedly a big fan of Hole’s breakthrough album, Live Through This, and even performed a spot-on impersonation of Love during a 1998 interview with Rolling Stone. Brion’s strings and general sense of kooky bombast make for a consistently challenging album that never forgets that it’s still a pop record. Registered office: 1 London Bridge Street, SE1 9GF. Still, it made the queue for the portaloos manageable. As songwriters go, he’s almost an organic farmer. Shamir embraces this balance between composure and restless dissatisfaction throughout. Like its predecessor, it's primarily a covers set, but its focus is on jazz and pop standards from the Great American Songbook with six originals added for good measure. The seven-and-a-half-minute “Sugar” spends its first half building tension with chilly atmospherics and a static beat, but it confuses the use of repetition for a great sense of immersion as Stevens slowly and dramatically unveils one pop bromide—“Come on, baby, give me some sugar”—ad nauseam throughout the rest of the track. Van and Hunter sang and blew harmonicas in duet for the classic jumping blues, “Help Me,” by Sonny Boy Williamson. But given that the audience was already fully engaged, when the sax, trumpet and vibes all started playing the melody of “Moondance” in harmony, well it took us all to the next level. But at a spare eight tracks, and in light of the years-long wait, it seems more like an appetizer than a main course. Under distinct pressures and backed into a corner, Morrison did what he did best: deliver the goods while remaining his unmistakably eccentric self. By. His flows aren’t remarkably diverse, but he always spits with precision, and his speed of delivery on “Many Men” and “Brand New Draco” is impressive. (I had wanted to look for Randy in the large confines of the Chicago theater for one of those “a minister and a rabbi walk into a concert” selfie’s but it was not to be.) As he frequently reminds us, the 27-year-old Atlanta MC has a real claim to legitimacy in his gangsta raps. 894646. There are some rather brusque arm signals, like a novice conductor, yet he doesn’t appear to be in a strop. December 4, 2017. The album’s bouncy, Motown-inspired opening track, “Here We Go Around Again,” an unreleased song from Mariah’s demo tape, and “Can You Hear Me,” a Whitney-esque piano ballad from the Emotions sessions, find her in fine voice but offer little insight into Mariah the burgeoning artist.
