What did Rick only for a management - he has one at all? One question is, given the fact that this great CD was released only in the UK and Asia 2005 - so the rest of the world had to laboriously search through the Internet and learned along the way that Richard "Rick" Astley quasi secretly an album of cover versions of large Hits of the 50s and 60s had published. So be it - who finally gets this CD then import intricate ways hardly believe his ears: this now old bag still has a gigantic voice that is not even covered up here from Disco Sauce and electro beats. Amazed, listening to Don McLean's' 'Vincent', even abgenudelten tearjerker like "Somewhere" and "Cry Me A River" he elicits previously unknown nuances. But Absolute highlights are the adaptations of "And I love you so" and "Close to you" - almost hymnal and from verse to verse climactic form indie / garage sound arrangement and a fantastic voice unit, so you do not end up remember whether to cheer or cry with excitement seized. Nice that also specifically British hits like "Portrait of my love" (Matt Monro original) or "Make it easy on yourself" (Original Walker Brothers) was intended - since small gaffe are (Where do I begin, You belong to me ) to get over. The last title (apart from Japan Import a 14th piece) says what you want to say to this great album: "What the world needs now" - exactly, we finally need a new material this underrated singer (2008 live in Denmark - a hammer), regardless of whether new title ("Lights Out" in 2010 shows that he has it) or perhaps cover versions of his own hits? But when it's done - just do not tell anyone ...
