The Rush Of Love

Description

Sometimes it is hard to get inside Joe Moore's head. When is the right time for a Sunlit album? When for The Perfect Kiss? How does he decide if a new song is for The Yearning? In this new album by The Yearning, he picks up where he left off on "Evening Souvenirs", diving headfirst into a series of style exercises ranging from bolero to cha-cha-cha, passing through bossa nova, Lindy Hop, French chanson, progressive jazz, folk, and even the sounds of Broadway, giving them his unmistakable personal touch. This new album is a treatise on music appreciation and lounge music that pays homage to Vinicius de Moraes, Burt Bacharach, Dusty Springfield, Blossom Dearie, Doris Day, Evie Sands, Joao Gilberto, Stan Getz, and so many other artists who turned melody into art by playing with arrangements and rhythms with an elegance that is hard to find today. Furthermore, it must be said, the Spanish guitar takes on a special prominence in this album. We don't know what is brewing inside Joe Moore's head, but we have no doubt that he is one of the most incredible songwriters working today. "The Rush Of Love" is a perfect record: there are no filler tracks, and this winning formula reaches its peak when the lead voice belongs to Maddie Mae.
