Music reviews of Valotte
Music Review: The First one...
Rating: 5 Stars
This record is way more than just the first album released by Julian Lennon. For me, anyway. It's the first album I ever listened to and loved (other than those released by Paul McCartney/Wings) that had any remote connection to The Beatles, together or apart. For that reason, I've got more loyalty to Valotte alone than the entire Beatles catalogue and most of their solo output.
I was probably three years of age when I first listened to a Beatles album, Abby Road. At first, I didn't get it, or any of their earlier records. Because of my youthful ignorance, I knew who Paul Mccartney & Wings were (two of my favorite records were Pipes of Peace and Wings at the Speed of Sound), but I didn't know Paul had begun as a Quarryman-turned-Beatle. Then, I was four years old when I first heard the name of Julian Lennon. It was the two singles from Valotte: the title track and "Too Late for Goodbyes," which were getting regular radio airtime. I also remember Julian's appearance during a TV special in Disneyland, apparently miming "Too Late for Goodbyes." It really looked as if he were playing that harmonica part. When my family finally got a copy of the album, I considered it a treat whenever we listened to it. By this time, I had finally grown to embrace the Beatles and learn their names, but even to this day, John Lennon is more like "Julian Lennon's father" to me than just himself
For my taste, it's not tough to listen to most of the songs and appreciate the aptitude involved either in writing them or recording them. It may have been "too soon for hellos" as far as Julian's career was concerned, but that doesn't matter with regards to the album, itself. Julian has every bit of his father's gift as a writer, and he's also no slouchy keyboard player. [An interesting detail here is that, though it includes plenty of acoustic drums, piano and brass instruments, I don't hear a trace of acoustic guitar; all the guitars sound electric to me. That's an unprecedented feat.] The fact that his pop success was cut short, or even that he didn't cut half as many records as he should've after this one, is no fault of his own. Every new release from Julian Lennon is worth the wait, as far as I'm concerned. We should hear all of them, starting with this one.
