Whilst Rhythm Of Love doesn't contain any songs that I dislike, it was very much of its time and is somewhat difficult to stack up against newer offerings.
I knew that would be a little controversial, but I just love the sound of the album. It was also the first one I paid proper attention to (I was late to the party) so it probably has a bit of nostalgia for me that other people probably have for earlier albums
Well, yes. But I would say most of that is usually offset by her own level of involvement and investment - as it is with any other act.
In ‘Aphrodite’ it just didn’t seem to be there largely (‘All The Lovers’ not withstanding). Partly, I suspect, because it WAS designed to be much more sonically cohesive to address one of the main gripes about ‘X’.
