JOHN PAUL YOUNG : LOVE IS IN THE AIR |
|
Label : Ariola Release Date : 1977 Length : 34:35 Review : Compilation album with John Paul Young's greatest hit "Love Is In The Air". Review (Rate Your Music) : Usually, "Love Is in the Air" is the only thing that people know about John Paul Young. This album features the famous title track as the opening number, and of course it sets the mood. But it will not last long. At least when the listener reaches "Gay Time Rock 'n' Roll City", it is clear that John Paul Young is actually not a disco pop artist. This music is soulful pop/rock, sometimes with a rhythm & blues flavour. Beside the classic title song, I especially like the last three tracks - "Bad Trip", "Where the Action Is" and "The Painting." A John Paul Young album is not the most likely place to find the best songwriting of the era, and of course you will not find it here, but still, that is not as far away as you might imagine. |
