Michael Ball sounds mellow

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on February 1, 2010

Verified Purchase

This CD of Michael Ball singing Burt Bacharach songs surprised me a little. I bought it because I liked Bill Hayes LP in the 70's, THE LOOK OF LOVE. Michael Ball, of whom I have been a fan since I saw the 10th Anniversary Concert of Les Miz, had a completely different interpretation of the song, THE LOOK OF LOVE. Michael's is more quiet and mellow. There is room for both styles. The other songs on the CD are very nice. If you like Burt Bacharach, you will enoy this CD. If anyone hears of Bill Hayes making a CD with the LOOK OF LOVE on it, I would like to know. Thank you.

I like anything Michael Ball sings, especially Broadway songs which are his forte. I am not a great fan of Burt Bachrach's music, but bought this album because it was sung by Michael Ball.

Need I say more - the perfect combo - the amazing voice, the impeccable phrasing, the perfect elocution - all add up to an aural delight.

Yep, I love Michael but must say he does better than expected on this CD.

Great concept falls flat somewhere along the way...

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 26, 2008

I'm an ardent, till-I-die fan of Michael Ball, and while I'm only casually appreciative of Burt Bacharach's music, I love what Michael had done with his songs on previous albums. They're both wonderful storytellers in their own way - this marriage of talents should be one made in heaven, no?
Press releases described this album as a new direction for Michael: the sophisticated, low-key, jazzy kind of stuff you play late at night. The cover art is dark, stylish and sexy - on it, Michael has traded in his cheeky, boyish grin for a more intense, mature look that had me in a puddle of fangirl mush when I first saw it. I was aching to have the CD in my hot little hands, so you can imagine my surprise and dismay when I played it the first time and was more or less underwhelmed by the whole thing. I've given it a few more turns around the player since then and I still feel the same way.
It's not that I don't appreciate Michael's subtle side (his versions of "If You Could Read My Mind," "Fever," and "Time in a Bottle" are among my favorites of his) but you won't find any of the kind of power-house ballads he's known for here, and I feel that the album suffers for it. Michael's not really able to put his 'stamp' on much of the material. It's an album I'll pull out when I want some background music, not when I want to listen to Michael Ball. If that was the intention of the producers and Michael, it was a misguided one, I think. It's not bad by any means, just plain OK - and I think anyone bothering to read this review knows that Michael is capable of far better than just OK.
The one standout track I can think of is "This Guy's in Love With You," previously heard on his 2003 album, A Love Story. It was a sweet, playful song there; Michael's reading was optimistic yet guarded. On B2B it's given a quiet, intimate arrangement, and Michael here is sexy, sly and confident - more like a man who's sweet-talking his way to a conquest than one who's head-over-heels in love but somewhat unsure of himself. It serves as a great example of Michael's talent and artistry, if nothing else on the album does.

Michael Shines! Yes! That Voice!

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on July 5, 2008

Michael Ball has released a Beautiful, Lushious, Divine, and vocally perfect recording here on Back to Bacharach.. The first note out of his mouth to the last, is simply flawless. The man just can do no wrong. Blessed with a talent of inhabiting a song, he is in his finest voice to date.. Emotion and Diction .. all part of telling the story in song ,is Michael's forte!! The material was a great departure for him and I would recomend repeat listenings.. Brilliant work Michael.. Bravo!! PLEASE COME TO THE STATES FOR A TOUR..

Michael Ball has delivered some classics over the years.

There's nothing here to stretch his vocal talents, but he does it with aplomb.

If you're a Ball fan then this is a must for your collection.

Of favorite Bacharach numbers some well known, others not so. I love the CD and live in hope that he will record an album of Jerome Kern's music. Two Geniuses on one tape? what could be better?

voice yay, songs booh

Reviewed in Germany 🇩🇪 on June 1, 2009

Verified Purchase

Michael Ball has a great voice - if only his taste in music was as good. Many of the Bacharach songs he chose for this recording come across as very shallow - I do not know all these songs but it seems that he sticks close enough to the original versions to say that it is not his renditions that are uninspired but the songs themselves. "The Look of Love", "Alfie" or "Arthur's Theme (The Best that you can do)" may be well-liked but I do really not understand why. There are better songs in this collection, however. "(They Long to be) Close to you" is a pretty enough song and "Anyone who had a Heart" is the stand-out song here because it comes across as less idealistic than the rest. Michael Ball is in good voice and makes a song like "Reach out for me" sound more engaging than it really is. Still, if he sticked to theater music, it would be more interesting for most of us.
