Nobody in their right mind should be able to say one
good word about Michael Bolton, so (clearly out of my
own mind) I will attempt to do so.
To be honest it's not too difficult to raise more than a few good
words with regard to Mr Bolton's new album 'One World, One Love'.
Cheesy...yes of course! Middle-of-the-road...you betcha!
Predictable...Hackneyed...Cliched...Certainly!
(BUT)
It's good. Very, very good truth-be-told.
Consummately executed middle-aged, middle-brow pop of the finest pedigree.
Let's start with 'Hope It's Too Late'. Mr Bolton sings like a man twenty years
younger than reality might hold to be true. It's a good voice (It always was)
and here it really shines. Strong, expressive and perfectly focussed.
'Ready For You' and 'Can You Feel Me' are both light and breezy numbers
full of caribbean light and rhythm. Easily digestible lovely summery stuff.
Bolton gives good ballad. 'The Best' doesn't get much better.
A tad too much vocoder (a man of his age should have learned from Cher's mistakes!)
but a pretty song, prettily sung none-the-less.
Are you still with me here ?
How about 'Murder My Heart' - a duet with none other than Lady GaGa ?
The most unlikely of pairings but it works. It really, really shouldn't but it does.
(An image of them coupling wildly on a catwalk covered in MTV-scenario fake blood
momentarily comes to mind but is necessarily dismissed for the sake of good taste).
'You Comfort Me' is as middle-of-the-road as MOR could possible get. Delicious !
'Invisible Tattoo' has some of the dumbest lyrics you are likely to hear this year
but our hero manages to overcome the incipient bathos and deliver a credible
and creditable performance. No mean feat with this turkey of a song !
More vocoder (enough already!) on 'Survivor' and a dismally puerile chorus but still
that fine voice manages to struggle through manfully and almost meaningfully.
Final track 'Crazy Love' is a perfectly simple and soulful R&B composition beautifully delivered.
The guy can sing for heaven's sake !
A guilty pleasure of an album.
Share the sin if you dare !
Recommended.

This is Michael Bolton's first album of original material since 2002 and it's a winner ! Full of memorable, fresh, hook-ladden, uptempo songs, it features successful collaborations between Michael and young hitmakers such as : Lady GaGa, Ne Yo, Red One, The Jam, Kara Dioguardi (of American Idol fame), Ryan Tedder of One Republic ("Bleeding Love", for Leona Lewis, "Halo" for Beyonce)... The album features 10 new original songs and two covers, one of Michael's forte : "ign Your Name" (Terence Trent D'Arby) and "Crazy Love" (Van Morrison). Michael Bolton's voice is still as powerful and high-pitched than in his hit-bound 90's peak, but he has gained nuance and maturity in his interpretations. First single "Just One LOve" is currently play-listed on BBC2 list A and "Murder My Heart", the track co-written and featuring Lady GaGa on backing vocals has been making the buzz all over the internet. Pop albums rarely get as good as this one. I personnally enjoyed it more than anything in 2009 !

Michael Bolton, is an enigma, years in the wilderness, nothing really said about him and then this album. Song after song full of fire, passion, strength and of course that voice unmistakeably Bolton. No disappointments, no reservations. Nothing in life is perfect and you can never please everyone but in this album, Bolton delivers 9/10 and at times after you listen to it three or four times with the lights low and in the dark, you can reach 9.9/10 really impressed. Buy it.
