5.0 out of 5 stars A New Dawn For Paul Hardcastle, July 14, 2005

On his latest album, "Hardcastle 4," Paul Hardcastle introduces some new, surprise elements into his unbeatable style of smooth jazz---some new keyboard sounds, some new arrangements, and the lovely singing voice of his lovely young daughter, Maxine, who is featured on three tracks, which she co-wrote with her father. It's a new dawn for Paul Hardcastle with this one! Fabulous, groovy tunes, such as the captivating "Serene" and "Freefall," "Straight Ahead" and the beautifully aquatic feel of "Journey Of The Lost Tribes." And Maxine's collaborations with her dad are all terrific: "Smooth Jazz Is Bumpin" (finally, a smooth-jazz anthem!), "Was It Love" and "Where Are You Now." Maxine has a very cute, breathy, almost pixie-ish kind of voice, and she also shows excellent songwriting talent, too. I buy all of Paul Hardcastle's new CD's without ever previewing them first because I know I'm going to get something good, and so far, Paul is still batting 100 with me. "Hardcastle 4" is outstanding and catchy with a capital C. Well done, Paul & Maxine. Keep the great music comin'!

Paul Hardcastle's latest CD is by far his best project to date. My favorite track is "Serene". I enjoy listening to it while I am driving. I was also impressed by his daughter's superb singing and songwriting. I eagerly look forward to more great music by Mr. Hardcastle and I would like to see his daughter collaborate with his other vocalist, Helen Rogers on a future project. It would definitely be worth listening to.

4.0 out of 5 stars Typical Hardcastle. Great stuff...just a bit repetitive, August 26, 2005

If you're a Hardcastle fan (and I am), you'll love this one. It's very typical, melodic stuff (just a little too repetitive. One Hardcastle cut will have at least two others that sound like it on the same CD). Still, his daughter is a very refreshing addition. The young lady can sing! She replaces Helen Rogers (at least on this CD), but it doesn't hurt the sound AT ALL. Both women are awesome. It's good cruising music, and Hardcastle remains at the top of his game.
