Album Reviews
After brilliantly surveying the social, political, and spiritual landscape with What's Going On, Marvin Gaye turned to more intimate matters with Let's Get It On, a record unparalleled in its sheer sensuality and carnal energy. Always a sexually charged performer, Gaye's passions reach their boiling point on tracks like the magnificent title hit (a number one smash) and "You Sure Love to Ball"; silky and shimmering, the music is seductive in the most literal sense, its fluid grooves so perfectly designed for romance as to border on parody. With each performance laced with innuendo, each lyric a come-on, and each rhythm throbbing with lust, perhaps no other record has ever achieved the kind of sheer erotic force of Let's Get It On, and it remains the blueprint for all of the slow jams to follow decades later -- much copied, but never imitated. ~ Jason Ankeny, All Music Guide

My Delirium LadyHawke |
| Pip Brown a.k.a. Ladyhawke is a Kiwi born, Aussie based and, thanks to her timely 80's revivalism, Shoreditch adopted singer who started a solo career after many indie ventures, launched through the always trendy Modular stable. Her album, one of the most accomplished debuts of the year, distils big love for synth-pop in each and every cut and has earned her widespread critical acclaim. It was previewed by a couple of trendy bar favourites, "Paris is burning" and "From dusk til dawn" and offers many other excellent moments to discover. Third single "My Delirium" is a little pop-rock gem, nicely revisiting new wave era style. It could have been taken off one of Kim Wilde's early albums and hopefully will be the one that wins over the general public. | |
