Review: Fourplay's eighth album, their first for RCA/Bluebird, highlights the band's remarkable consistency in composition and musicianship. The quartetiLarry Carlton, Nathan East, Bob James and Harvey Masonideliver a distinctive sound across the album, from the exotic flair of 'Galaxia' to the smooth, radio-friendly groove of 'That's The Time.' Tracks like 'Break It Out' and 'Rollin'' showcase the band's tight rhythms and surprising twists, while 'Let's Make Love' stands out for Nathan East's powerful vocals. Although the album experiments with new directions, including the emotionally resonant title track and the urban funk of 'Cafe L'Amour,' it has the memorable melodies of earlier hits like '101 Eastbound' or 'Chant.' Fourplay's improvisational skill and musical versatility remain front and centre.
