Review: This magnificent live album captures accomplished West Yorkshire-born singer-songwriter Robert Palmer at his peak. His electrifying performance from the final night of his 1988 Heavy Nova tour was recorded at the legendary Apollo Theatre and was released as his first full-length live album. It's packed with his signature blend of rock, soul and pop and his biggest hits, along with standout album tracks, are performed with both precision while his smooth vocals and charismatic stage presence really shine through on the likes of 'I Didn't Mean To Turn You On' and 'Woke Up Laughing'.
Review: Two-time Grammy Awards winner, MTV Video Award veteran, Brit nominee and icon of the 1980s. Robert Palmer's name may not be as familiar as it once once at the height of music video broadcasting - when his anthem of excess and glamour, 'Addicted To Love', was either fresh off the presses, circa 1986, or still being rolled out as one of the most defining pop clips of all time. Suffice to say, our world - our cultural universe - has shifted since then, and the Batley, West Yorkshire-born, Malta-raised legend isn't necessarily the first artist on your lips when someone asks why the lights are on when nobody's home. That's a crying shame, as beyond that most famous of his tracks there's a big oeuvre to explore. Including 1999's unashamedly sexy, seductive, and slick (perhaps even over-produced) Rhythm & Blues, arguably the most aptly titled record arriving in stock this month.
