Product Description
Product Description
Former UB40 frontman Ali Campbell's 'Running Free' LP takesa distinctly collaborative approach, featuring guest appearances from a whole host of pop talent. Lemar, Smokey Robinson, Katie Melua and Beverly Knight all lend their services to Campbell's reggae-flavoured songs, co-written with Brian Travers. Whilst staying close to his roots in reggae, Campbell manages to make 'Running Free' a contemporary exploration of the genre, thanks to his reliance on collaborating with such an array of artists.

Fantastic album from the UB40 frontman. Excellent choice of guests and great songs. Good cover songs, Hold me Tight, Would I lie to you, Devoted to you and Village Ghetto Land. Good songs by Ali as well. When will this Brummie get the recognition he so rightly deserves? Not forgetting the UB's either!

Not bad
I bought this CD as I do like the UB's and Ali's voice. The choice of music is good and the voice is just as good as ever, but on reflection, he should never have gone solo. Read more

Really Disappointing
I so loved Ali's voice when he was with UB40, but this sounds like he got a group of studio musicians in a room and said "could ya all try to play like UB40" Doesn't work at all!!
