CD review 'Lionel Richie' 'Just for you'

LIONEL RICHIE 'JUST FOR YOU'

LIONEL Richie one of the world's most recognised and rewarded performers.

But seeing as he has been writing songs that stand the test of time, since the early days of the Commodores, it's no wonder.

But as an artist, Lionel Richie has established a signature sound, shown to great effect on Just For You.

He is joined by special guests like Lenny Kravitz, featured on Road To Heaven (produced by Kravitz) and Time of Our Life. The third song they recorded together in Florida, Destiny, is rumoured to be appearing on Kravitz's next album.

Just For You is full of the many organic touches Lionel Richie has become famous for. The stirring rhythmic throb of the title track, the folky Celtic flavour of Just 2 Be With You, and the soulful gospel of I Still Believe.

Richie's perspective comes from nearly four decades of making music.

Just For You is a touching album, emotive but up-beat.

Lionel has done himself proud.
