JULIAN LENNON, "photgraph smile" cd,1998
Julian's fifth album, and his best IMO....
we see a more mature sounding Jules on this one....especially lyrically, i guess he had seen a lot more of life by this stage?
after years of being compared to his father's music and sound, julain deliberately went out to make an album that sounds like john/Beatles...
theres lots of similarities here, but thats not a bad thing as he does it really well....
the lead off single "i dont wanna know" sounds a lot like The Beatles circa 1964-65, and the video is a pisstake of the whole beatlemania thing, quite funny actually!
elsewhere there bits of the psychadelic sounds that John used on Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds, and why noy, afterall theat song was written about a drawing a young julian did draw!
i sort of hear bits of Crowded House on here also, especially in the track "and she cries", thats not surprising neither as CH have always sounded like a modern Beatles to me anyway,
this album contains two of the most beautiful love songs i have ever heard in "way to your heart" and my favourite track "faithful"
all up though, a very,very good album from the ONLY Beatle offspring to ever make anything worthwhile!
I LOVE THIS ALBUM
