4 out of 5 stars R&B Flavored Pop w/ Soulful Vocals.......2003-11-09

Critics and fans were torn on this 1999 Robert Palmer album. Some loved it, some hated it, alternately praising the smooth soulful vocals or complaining the heavy keyboard laiden arrangements or the lack of traditional "Palmer style" hard rock. Here, the singer tackles modern sounding pop music with a strong R&B slant arrangement wise. There a few uptempo numbers, particulalry "You're Not The Only One", and songs like the single "Stone Cold" have slower but still scorching dance sound to them. "True Love", the first single, is a definate soul pop ballad that vocally plays into all of Palmer's strengths as a blue eyed soul singer. "Paradise" is easily the most romantic song on the set, and one of the most romantic songs in the singer's catalogue. Uptempo dominates the set however as ballads sit in the minority. "Mr Wise Guy" is another solid soul flavored effort, and Palmer hits all the right notes with a surprisingly good rendition of Marvin Gaye's "Let's Get It On". There are no hard rock numbers and no world music numbers, trademarks of Palmer's earlier albums. Still, this album excells at showing Robert Palmer could not only sing, but compose and produce songs with a definate fresh soul pop feel to them. "True Love" and "Stone Cold" are clearly the highlights but the album has few misses, even it lacks many home runs. You wont have to be a die hard Robert Palmer fan to enjoy this album.

4 out of 5 stars PALMER with new RHYTHM.......2003-09-26

This CD went unoticed by critics and fans upon it's release in 1999. It's a shame for the late PALMER. His vocal performance was both matutre and controlled.

The material on this project is sophisticated providing the late PALMER with a new platform to stage a quiet return to the music charts.

If you collect CDs by gifted male singers, then I suggest that you try this one.

4 out of 5 stars Not true R&B, but not Pop either.......2002-05-09

First off, this is not true R&B by any stretch by the imagination but rather true 'blue eye soul' which isn't bad. I too stumbled upon this CD at a store and decided to take a chance and bought it. I was very surprised at how good this CD is. Robert really searched deep inside and pulled out some of his best vocal work in years. While other reviewers felt this album was soulless I say it was the quite the opposite. On such songs as 'Stone Cold', Wise guy, I Choose You, and the title track screams of sensuality that is especially true of Marvin Gaye's 'Let's get it on'. It's a shame that this CD didn't get the radio play it deserved. But his tour '99 to support it was the coolest!

5 out of 5 stars Robert gets better with each album - BRILLIANT.......2001-10-01

I have 20 Robert Palmer albums in my CD collection, and love each one to absolute bits.
His previous album.., "Honey" released in 1994 was what I thought to be his greatest album, then Rythm and Blues was released and litetally put a new meaning to the word BRILLIANT.
Its good to see that Robert is doing what he does best... covering so many styles of music and making each one sound excellent. Up beat songs like True Love is modern, eclectic, and could be played in a nightclub..,, yet its something my grandmother would like :)
Robert makes a great job of slower "candle lit romance" songs like "No Problem" and especially "20 Million Things" which is just spectacular.
I urge anyone who is a Palmer fan to go and buy this album as you will not be dissapointed. It is his best yet.
Thank You
John, 17...
