Does Richie Still Have What It Takes?

Album: Just Go

Artist(s): Lionel Richie

Official/Original Drop Date: May 19, 2009

Grade: C

Blade(s): 4.5

Bottom-line: Ehh

Review: The last album released by Lionel Richie was more proof of Richie’s desires to try and produce music that is true to himself but still represent the current times in music. There were some songs that I couldn’t gel with but the overall album was decent. His hit single Just Go was good but not the best he’s done. There were times when songs sounded the same because of the music chosen. Not many stand out songs on this album so I’ll chalk this up to a miss for Richie when it comes to albums. Some were Into You Deep, Faces In The Crowd, Somewhere In London, and Pastime. After his long standing career I’ll let this pass. Hopefully this won’t be the start of a downward spiral. 4.5 blades and a C for Richie on this project.
