5.0 out of 5 stars Alexander O'Neal in the House, May 16, 2003

This review is from: Lovers Again (Audio CD)

1996, 5 years after the chart topping "All True Man" album, 3 years after the dissapointment of the "Love Makes No Sense" album, Alexander O'Neal is back with his Fifth proper album. And he does not dissapoint.
Most people know him from the days of the song "Criticize" and when he sold out 8 consecutive nights at wembley.
This album was his lastest set in 1996.

Track 1
Do You Right
Alexander O'Neal at his funkiest. Keeping along the same lines as the hits "Criticize" and "Fake" , this song is the best on the album. Its soulful funk and its outstanding.

Track 2
Lets Get Together
Mellows a little, but still keeps slightly upbeat. Its a nice song, not the stongest lyrically but Alex delivers it well.

Track 3
Lovers Again
The title track and basically a love song. "We've been through good and bad times, had our cloudy days". Alex keeps it real and keeps that element of love goings strong.

Track 4
Can You stand the Rain
In my opinion this is the albums weakest track. But when Alex gets his voice on any track, it can't be that bad!

Track 5
Baby Come to me (duet with Cherelle)
After the top 10 hit in 1985 with "Saturday Love" when he first teamed up with Cherelle, Alex once again does a duet. This time around its a cover. Nothing spectacular but a good cover.

Track 6
No One But You
A storming track. Funky but a real love song. Alex just knows how to please the women - and this certainly will.

Track 7
Body Talkin'

Like track six alex mixes his funk soul style with lyrics to melt most girls hearts.

Track 8
More Than My Heart Can Stand
Love your girl? Broke up with her? Want her back? This song has all these emotions. Real soul music.

Track 9
Carry On
Sounds a bit like Boyz II Men "End Of The Road". Can't fault it too much but one of the lesser tracks on this album.

Track 10
Sneakin'
Alex takes a change from his normal side and gets down with some new style RnB. Hes on the same level here as the like of R Kelly. This song really does testement to his vocal ability

Track 11
Sleepin
Like the previous track its some rouch edged RnB with a real sexual theme. Its Alexander O'Neal in a nutshell

Track 12
Our Love
Along the same lines of track 2. Its a nicely put together song but a bit too corny for my liking.

Track 13
Grind
Excellent. Should have been a single here. Its top quality RnB/Soul and its vocally his best song on the album.

Overall
Its just Alexander O'Neal doing his Thang in a way he can only do.
Yes Luther is good and has had his hits. But Love Soul is Alex's department

4.0 out of 5 stars "Good, but not great", April 18, 2000

This latest Alexander O'Neal work is a solid release by an artist with a fantastic voice. It can't measure up to the blockbuster "Hearsay" release from 1987 (but how many albums could?) This cd promotes the softer ballad and mid-tempo range of Alex, outside of the faster and funkier opening song "Do You Right". This is the type of cd you can put in your player and enjoy every song. There may not be any standout smash hits, but there are no "dogs" you would want to hit the skip button on either. If you are a true Alex fan you will want to pick this title up. The Japanese release includes two extra bonus tracks not on the U.S. release. "If We Get It On" and "Cry" are both nice additons.
