It’s a brave and brilliant refocusing of Billy Ocean energies, virtually a rebirth. Billy Ocean had quite a long carriere and they made many hits. This -song debut EP shows the promise that Billy Ocean has. This album is in perfect progression from Billy Ocean!
Caribbean Queen - This one has a powerful beat and a good melody. There’ll Be Sad Songs - A classic Billy Ocean track. Within the first few notes of Loverboy it’s perfectly clear that Billy Ocean is living this song. Get Outta My Dreams, Get Into My Car is possibly the best song Billy Ocean has come up. From the sound of it, I believe the song can be a big radio hit. Love Is Forever defines beauty, yet is as unforgiving as an astringent stone. The first time I listened to Mystery Lady I was struck by its astounding sound. Love Zone actually sounds so joyous, that you can practically see a smile on Billy Ocean’s face. This song is like perfectly aged vintage bordeaux wine not a tequila shot. The sound of Colour Of Love is difficult to describe, as it seems to squirm in a sensual manner, unlike anything ever created. Everything’s So Different Without You very upbeat. After you’ve listened to Can We Go Round Again, most everything else can’t hold up and is second rate. Love Really Hurts Without You is a bit different from Billy Ocean stereotypical stuff. No Billy Ocean song has come close to capturing my attention as L.O.D. (Love On Delivery) did. Red Light Spells Danger - This one makes me want to not only sing along. Suddenly (Live Hammersmith Apollo) marked the continuation of Billy Ocean in style evolution. Night (Feels Like Getting Down) (Live Hammersmith Apollo) is just simply stunning.
