Music reviews of What Is Love For
Music Review: Incredible Indelible Artist
Rating: 5 Stars
Justin proves here he's the self-depreciating talent behind Del Amitri's greatness. This is a beautiful and haunting late night with a drink sorrows album with some rays of sunshine sprinkled in. Love isn't always beautiful, in fact, much of the time it can suck, and Justin can bring that mood and feeling up to the surface like no other artist can. To all those heartbroken lovers to losers, this album is for you!
Description of What Is Love For
The stunning solo debut from the founder and voice of DEL AMITRI."More than anything, I think that these songs represent the end of my youth," Justin Currie says of What Is Love For, his first solo album and his Rykodisc debut. "I wanted to allow my world-weariness to roam unchecked. And I wanted to be straight about love about how I can't explain it, control it or figure it out."
As lead singer and main songwriter of Scottish rock/popsters Del Amitri, Currie established an enviable reputation for sterling melodic craftsmanship and pithy, forthright lyrics. What Is Love For maintains those qualities, while achieving impressive new levels of musical and emotional immediacy.
"For me," Currie states, "the song 'What Love Is For?' sums up this record, in that it's ostensibly bleak, but underneath, there's a Morse code melody that's telling you something else. "
What Is Love For features 11 Currie compositions whose pensive meditations on love's darker margins are supported by spare, organic arrangements. Such numbers as "Not So Sentimental Now," "Walking Through You," "If I Ever Loved You" and the haunting title track confront their thorny subject matter with a compelling blend of hard-won insight and pointed humor.
