Gabrielle - Play To Win - Album Review
Rating: 3 out of 5
Gabrielle
Play To Win
Gabrielle has become a bit of an institution in the British music scene. If you can remember ‘Dreams’ in the early nineties, where she made a name for herself, she continues in the same vein creating easy listening, soulful pop music. There’s no denying the serenity in her voice. She has a seductive, sweet voice full of soul that can be moving and uplifting.
This album starts well and finishes softer. I really liked ‘Latchkey Kid’ and the first six tracks are all good pop songs. It’s much of the same all the way through and doesn’t have much of a progressive sound. However Gabrielle is a solid artist with a good voice and if you like her other albums you may well like this. I felt peaceful and calm after listening to this album but not intellectually challenged. It’s for the softer moments.
