Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

Phil Collins is to pop music what Heinz is to baked beans, and like that familiar and ubiquitous brand, he consistently delivers the goods. Testify, his follow-up to 1996's Dance into the Light, finds the British singer-songwriter strolling through a mostly gentle collection of romantic ballads, with Collins on both the winning and losing end of relationships. He also sends a few messages our way with "Wake Up Call" and "Don't Get Me Started", suggesting his subscription to the Economist is intact. But the chief delight of Testify is in the sonics. Collins has clearly been watching from the sidelines, chin in hand, as his adult-pop contemporaries have layered world beat influences into their music to haunting effect. "Thru My Eyes" is a spiritual cousin of Peter Gabriel's "In Your Eyes"; "The Least You Can Do" has a decidedly Celtic lilt, while "Driving Me Crazy", with its woozy cascading synth, is destined for car-commercial grandeur rivalling Sting. The title track, appropriately, gets added ballast from a choir while a cover of the weepy "Can't Stop Loving You" (also recorded by Leo Sayer in the 1970s) is a worthy successor to Collins's own "One More Night". --Kim Hughes


CD Description

'Testify' contains the first new material by the former Genesis drummer and vocalist, since his work on the soundtrack to the 1999 Walt Disney animated feature film, 'Tarzan'. Collins wrote each track on the album, apart from the single, 'Can't Stop Loving You', which was written by Billy Nichols. The track was a top ten hit for Leo Sayer in 1977.

4.0 out of 5 stars An Undeservedly Overlooked Album!, 19 Jul 2003
Why isn't this album all over BBC Radio2 and similar AOR stations?
This is a superbly gentle and subtle album (aha! Perhaps there's our reason!!), that offers so much more than the single, Can't Stop Loving You - which is one of the lesser tracks on the album IMHO.
OK, it's probably best not to take the lyrics seriously - but it's really the tunes that Phil Collins has always excelled at, and he does so again here.
I was so prepared to dismiss this album, thinking it would continue the downward spiral since But Seriously - but seriously(!) this album reverses the decline and if only we hadn't of had the intervening decade, perhaps this album would be in it's rightful place, high in the charts.

5.0 out of 5 stars Come Back At It's Best!, 5 Nov 2002
By Rik James (England, UK) - See all my reviews
Phil Collins, as some of you may think, is and forever will be long gone. This, however, isn't true. With Phil's latest album "Testify", he shows his passion and ability to write songs at their best, and with the inspiration from his son and wife, I think that he's reached his goal. The instuments and vocal texture really do add to the mood of the album and it's songs, which is something that, in my opinion, is another great addition to this truly brilliant creation.

The lyrical front of all the songs on the album cease to amaze me really, as Collins has written with meaning and hasn't just strung together a list of words that rhyme. This is by far a good album, and both long-time Phil Collins fans and new ones alike, will enjoy "Testify" forever. It's truly a hit, and from what I've heard of it, is highly reccomended!

3.0 out of 5 stars 3 stars for the music, 0 for the copy protection
As the sales show this album has not exactly caught on fire with the UK public, and as by far the best track has been released as the first single it's unlikely it's going to. Read more

4.0 out of 5 stars A top-quality pop-album - not Phil's best, but excellent.
The shortest way to describe 'Testify' might be as a happy version of 'Both Sides'. Even if this isn't exactly precise, it carries two very important points of the album: First,... Read more
