Okay here it is, I'm tired of hiding my love for Lionel Richie songs, this man is great!!!!
Lionel Richie first found fame in the band called The Commodores during the Seventies and the group were signed by the famous Motown. He also writes for several artist so is respected in the industry.
I purchased a cd of Lionel's a few years ago beacuse I wanted some of the classics you all must of heard of - 'Hello' 'Three Times a Lady' 'Easy' the list can go on, I played it endlessly. His husky soulfull tones are so romantic and sultry, really relaxing music. He also does some wonderful upbeat tunes too for example 'Destiny' and 'Dancing on the Ceiling'
A good friend of mine then gave me tickets to see him live - wow! The man is an incredible live singer, he looks like every song is no effort at all. He hits every note precisely and puts on a really entertaining show. A artist that a lot of young musicians can learn a lot about live singing from.
The Coming Home cd is no exeption to his rule. It has 13 tracks (plus bonus track) of steamy ballads and upbeat carnival numbers. The first on the cd is called 'Call it Love' and is one of the best on there, you just can helpbut sing along with him (much to the anger of my housemate!).
Tracks included are on the Coming Home cd are; 1) Call it Love 2) Sweet Vacation 3) Why 4) What you are 5) Upp all Night 6) I'm Coming Home 7) All Around The World 8) Out of my Head 9) Reason to Believe 10) Stand Down 11) I Love You 12) I Apologise 13) I'm Missing Her Plus Bonus Track
I've since been to see him live for the Coming Home tour so that says how good the cd is (or how mad I am?!)
As you can pick up cd albums for much less than £10 on the net it is definitely worth a listen even if you don't think you're a fan!
Give it a listen and I guarantee you'll try and hide it in your car initially but you'll be singing to your friends in no time!!
