Editorial Reviews: Say the words "love song" to anyone, and it immediately brings to mind slushy romantic ballads as popularised by Celine Dion. The New Love Album, may well claim to be something different, but the evidence is there for all to see--"Against All Odds" from Phil Collins, "True" by Spandau Ballet and "Take My Breath Away" by Berlin--all great tracks, but great slushy romantic tracks. There are some more upbeat tracks included under the "Love" umbrella--Ronan Keating's "Life Is A Rollercoaster", The Rembrandts "I'll Be There For You", Sixpence None The Richer's "Kiss Me" and Lene Marlin's "Sitting Down Here", and to be fair Celine herself doesn't put in an appearance, although her career pinnacle "My Heart Will Go On" from Titanic appears courtesy of the capable vocal chords of Hannah Morris. It also features one of the greatest love songs of the 20th century--Robbie Williams' "Angels", which single-handedly increased the credibility of the love song, taking it away from the schmaltzy sentimentality of the school of Celine and giving it some real heart and emotion. If this is the future of love songs, long may it continue. --Mel Roberts
Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: Great collection, but some aren't 'new' Comment: Before I sing the praises of this beautifully compiled album, let me begin with a little qualm. Some of the songs featured here have appeared on earlier albums in the series. In fact, quite a lot have been used before, so this is something of a 'highlights' package of the collection so far. Still, unless you're a collector, this is a negative point I'll gladly ignore. Quite simply, this is one of those 'ultimate' love compilations. I know the market is swamped by this genre around Christmas and St. Valentine's Day. But this really is one of the best to date. Mixing a selection of recent tracks with classic oldies, there's something for everyone on "The New Love Album". And in my book, any record company who includes "Zoom" by Fat Larry's Band is always onto a winner! You don't have to be in 'love' to appreciate good music, and that's all you'll find here. Highly recommended.
