P.P. Arnold
The New Adventures of...
(earMUSIC)


Brass swells, precise strings cut capers, passages enjoy hue from dignified ivories, and a voice at turns evocative, declarative, and lullingly graceful soars with grand panache. One is overwhelmed by immaculateness.

Pivotal guests in soul legend P.P.'s decades-spanning career included Ike and Tina Turner, Eric Clapton, Mick Jagger, Rod Stewart, and Billy Ocean. Two compositions contributed by longtime admirer Paul Weller are breathtakingly interpreted by her.

earMUSIC says this is P.P.'s first solo record in some 50 years. The lion's share of her efforts since her 1960s Immediate Records gems have enriched others' endeavors. (Immediate numbers for which P.P.'s global audience revere her include "The First Cut Is the Deepest," and "Angel of the Morning.")

Records like this make listeners feel elegant for the experience.

Recommended: "Baby Blue," "Though It Hurts Me Badly," "The Magic Hour," "Different Drum," "I'm a Dreamer," "When I Was Part of Your Picture," "Shoot the Dove," "You Got Me," "Daltry Street," "Still Trying," "I'll Always Remember You"

Videos: "Baby Blue"
             "Official pre-listening"
