Syrupy love songs

For heart-warming numbers, Robertson Brothers' Here is the right album from Down Under.
|
BOY BANDS have been a rage not just for their `cho... chweet' heart-warming looks but also for their soothing compositions. New Kids on the Block, Boy Zone, the Bee Gees and All-4-One are some of the groups that have struck the right chord with the young. And now make way for the Robertson Brothers. The trio — Geoff, Stuart and Ben from Down Under, (the land of Jason Donovan, Kylie Minogue and other celebrated pop stars), have been famous for their pure syrupy compositions.
Robertson Brothers, who sang their first number It's a small world when Geoff was seven years old, Stuart and Ben six and four respectively, hit the music scene with their debut album Symmetry featuring two Australian top 40 singles that got them rave reviews in Germany, Australia and Asia. Till date, Can't cry hard enough and Winter in America receive regular airplay on Australian and South East Asian Radio. And they took centrestage for a global audience when they performed at the opening ceremony of the Olympics in 2000 at Sydney, getting the audience on their toes for their rendition of Imagine. Talking of concerts, Robertson Brothers are also known for their live shows featuring accapella and retro dance.
The award-winning trio, adjudged Best Vocal Group at National MO and ACE Awards for 2001, are back again on the music scene. A pure vocal blend of brotherly harmonies is how one would describe Here, the new offering from Robertson Brothers. Syrupy rendition of lilting lyrics floating on soothing compositions makes the compilation worthwhile, especially the title track that packs in a lot of melodic punch.
The USP of the album is that each number is refreshingly different from the previous track. For instance, Call me back is a peppy track, after a racy All I want is you. Incidentally, the latter track is written by Rick Price, as also The last love song co-written with eldest brother of the Robertson trio, Geoff. This single from1999 ruled Australian pop charts for three months.
That's when I'll stop missing you, All my life, If I give you my heart and Ain't gonna cry again are certain to win you over. And if Harlequin romances enthuse you, this album will stir that delicate chord deep down in your heart.
(Here... Robertson Brothers... Rs. 135... Virgin)
