Michael Bolton

Michael Bolton really showed his stuff when he made Soul Provider, his breakthrough album. He proved with such songs as the title track, "How Can We Be Lovers", "How Am I Supposed to Live Without You", and "When I'm Back on My Feet Again" that he could write great songs and carry a memorable tune with each one. Not to mention that all four were big hits back in the day. 
Those four big hits aren't the only things that make Soul Provider a great album. Most of the non-hits could've well been hits, especially "Love Cuts Deep" and "It's Only My Heart". The only song I didn't like is "Georgia on My Mind", but then again I never liked the original of that song either.

While Soul Provider isn't Michael Bolton's best album (Time, Love & Tenderness holds that honor), it is a great buy for anybody who likes love songs with great lyrics and soaring vocals.

Michael Bolton全新豪华版专辑《Spark of Light》在原作基础上注入四首全新曲目，延续了他标志性的抒情摇滚与复古灵魂乐基因。这张专辑以钢琴与管弦乐交织出宏大叙事感，Bolton极具穿透力的温暖人声成为贯穿全辑的情感纽带。新增曲目《Out of the Ashes》通过层层递进的弦乐编排，将生命的光辉主题推向高潮，而《Safe》则以极简配器凸显声线中的沧桑颗粒感。整张专辑在雄厚嗓音基底与细腻情感表达间找到平衡点，既有黄金年代成人抒情的气韵，又融入当代流行音乐的制作美学。当耳畔回荡起Bolton醇厚的声场时，那些关于希望与重生的音乐火花，正在黑暗中悄然燎原。

Til the End of Forever is a treat for die-hard Boltheads. The first half of the album is comprised of freshly minted material that follows the tried and true Bolton formula: well-polished, accessible ballads tempered with upbeat numbers that are wholly inoffensive to the ears. Duets with Liz Sharpe and Jim Brickman help pick the first half up when it could have easily dragged on into monotony, and it ends with a reggae version of Bolton's hit "Said I Loved You...But I Lied." Although it's inexplicable as to why he felt the need to re-record the song in this style, it is nevertheless enjoyable. However, it's the second half of the disc where Bolton truly shines. In a ten-song concert that also doubles as a greatest-hits survey of his career, Bolton tears his way through hit after hit with no filler in sight. While this may not be the ideal place for newcomers to start exploring the mighty Bolton catalog, Til the End of Forever is a must-have for die-hard loyalists.
