Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

With two solid albums already under his belt – Time To Grow and Dedicated – as well as two Brits, two Mobos and over 1.5 million album sales, UK vocalist Lemar has already earned his place as one of the UK's most adroit soul singers. Yet The Truth About Love, Lemar's third album, is even more of an accomplished work than its predecessors. Taking an old-school production approach - one producer (Brian Rawling), one band, one orchestra, one horn section and one mix engineer (Manny "Kanye West, Alicia Keys" Marroquin) - Lemar has recreated his classic soul sound more poignantly than ever, as evidenced by the infectious lead single "It's Not That Easy". Elsewhere he offers Sam Cooke style doo-wop ("Tick Tock"), heartfelt balladry ("Can't Live Without Each Others Love"), contemporary r & b ("Can't You See" feat. Styles P and Mica Paris), and a light-as-a-bubble, Motown style duet with Joss Stone, titled "Anniversary". Unlike The Lighthouse Family, Simon Webbe and others of that ilk, Lemar doesn't compromise his sound to the point of sterility. With its nostalgic songwriting, high caliber of musicianship, and Lemar's infectiously smooth, yet mature sounding voice, The Truth About Love is quite the modern classic.--Danny McKenna

CD Description

Third album, following 2004's 'Time To Grow', from young RnB singer who found fame on the reality TV show Fame Academy and has gone on to become one of the UK's biggest-selling pop artists. On this album, he takes influence from his Nigerian roots as well as the classic 60s and 70s soul records he listened to as a child, while some of the lyrical content isinspired by his experiences of charity work in Africa. Includes the single 'It's Not That Easy'.

4.0 out of 5 stars Some classic Soul here, 29 May 2007

By	Andy Edwards "staxasoul" (Essex UK) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)

If you have ever felt that current R&B had settled too deep into a formula, then get some Lemar to restore your faith in Soul - on his second album, he described himself as a Soul man and he sets about proving it here.

Unashamedly referring back to classic Soul for the production, this set hangs together beautifully, building through several high points to a quite superb Soulful climax. Those high points include the single, "It Ain't Easy", and the wonderful "Just Can't Live Without Each Other Love", both of which had me marvelling at the man's voice, and his ability to bring the emotion from the song, without resorting to histrionics.

It is towards the end of the album, however, you will find three songs which, elevate Lemar to the position as the UK premier Soul singer. The gritty "Beauty Queen" has Lemar warbling over a guitar led backing track and some great backing vocals, while on the spare and beautiful "Your Face", his delivery does justice to the poignant lyric. Add to these the incredible "Caroline", which perfectly encapsulates the agonies of lost love and you have the makings of a modern classic.

This album has been a constant on my player since I bought it. If you have a liking for Al Green, Marvin Gaye, Luther Vandross, Alexander O'Neal or any of the other great Soul voices from the 70's and 80's, then this is for you - real Soul from right now. Lemar is that good.

5.0 out of 5 stars Hidden Gem, 20 Feb 2007

By	Big Danny (Chesterfield) - See all my reviews

I have owned this album for a while and it only recently came to my attention of how brilliant it is. Lacking in the more upbeat songs but heavy on the love ballads. Although love ballads are sometimes poor every single song on the album hits a note if you have ever felt for anyone. A must buy!!!! Smooth Silky Vintage Soul
