Review

This album follows the same format as the
earlier Guilty
album, written and produced by the Bee Gees
for Barbra Streisand. Barry Gibb composes
all but the last song with various
combinations of Robin and Maurice Gibb and
Albhy Galuten (the final song is written by
Bob Hilliard and Mort Garson, but benefits
from Barry Gibb's production and backing
vocals).
The first track, and major hit single,
'Heartbreaker', is quite simply superb, and
possibly ranks as the best song the Gibbs
wrote for another artist. The following
single, 'All The Love In The World' is
almost as good. Other stand-out tracks are
the gentle, building ballads, 'Yours' and
'Just One More Night' and the Bee Gees
sounding pop ditty, 'You Are My Love'.
The album is as delightfully well-produced
as Guilty,
perhaps slightly more reliant on
synthesizers, but with Barry Gibb's now
trademark acoustic rhythm guitar gently
driving each song forward.
The team quickly moved on to
Kenny
Rogers...
Why Buy
Heartbreaker?
For the wonderful hit single 'Heartbreaker',
and for a collection of genuinely good love
songs all laid down to Barry Gibb's
sparkling production. |
