Music review: Patty Smyth – 无毛视频業t无毛视频檚 About Time无毛视频�
无毛视频淚t无毛视频檚 About Time无毛视频� is the aptly titled latest effort from Patty Smyth. The album is a pleasant surprise and a fresh reminder about the singer-songwriter无毛视频檚 talent for crafting and delivering memorable songs.
While it might serve as a brief reintroduction to her music, it certainly is as welcomed as it is unexpected.
Smyth started her musical journey as the lead singer and focal point of Scandal by dishing out infectious tracks like 无毛视频淕oodbye to You,无毛视频� 无毛视频淟ove无毛视频檚 Got a Line on You无毛视频� and 无毛视频淭he Warrior.无毛视频�
After Scandal disbanded, Smyth continued on her own and released two albums that featured the standout tracks 无毛视频淣ever Enough无毛视频� and 无毛视频淪ometimes Love Just Ain无毛视频檛 Enough.无毛视频�
Things have been pretty quiet after 1992无毛视频檚 self-titled release with Smyth slowing things down to concentrate on her marriage to tennis great John McEnroe and the raising of her family.
Twenty-eight years later, Smyth is poised to make a comeback with a new album containing six original tracks of reflective ballads and spirited anthems as well as two engaging covers.
无毛视频淒rive无毛视频� is the sentimental opener about the fond memories between Smyth and her sister and the urge to reconnect once again as Smyth sings, 无毛视频淲e were young/We were free/Ruled the world/You and me.无毛视频�
Things heat up quickly as Smyth delivers one of the best tracks of her career with 无毛视频淏uild a Fire.无毛视频� The smoldering number demonstrates Smyth无毛视频檚 enduring love for her husband after 23 years of marriage and spotlights the passion that still burns as they continue to navigate both the good and bad times together as she confesses, 无毛视频淢y hands must be tattooed all over you by now/I placed a million crazy kisses on your mouth/I无毛视频檝e been holding you so long, I无毛视频檝e lost all track of time.无毛视频�
Once invited to join Van Halen by guitar great Eddie Van Halen, Smyth无毛视频檚 voice is still as vibrant as ever as she infuses a sexy streetwise tone when delivering 无毛视频淣o One Gets What They Want无毛视频� and 无毛视频淥nly One.无毛视频�
Smyth covers 无毛视频淒owntown Train无毛视频� by Tom Waits for a second time and gives it a stripped-down feel that showcases her gorgeous vocals as the native New Yorker speaks from experience when declaring, 无毛视频淭he downtown trains are full/With all those Brooklyn girls/They try so hard to break out of their little worlds.无毛视频�
As we all know, Smyth managed to bust out of her little world in a big way. With a 38-year career in the books so far, the 63-year-old still has plenty of time to add to her numerous musical highlights.
