Release Notes:
Leave the daddy-daughter dynamics for People
magazine to dissect, but one thing's for sure: with
Coming Home, Lionel Richie may divebomb the
spotlight so completely that daughter Nicole ends up
a shadowy speck in the celebrity haze. Unlike
virtually every other high-profile R&B record to
arrive in recent years, Coming Home resists the
temptation to lean back, even a little, on its
dazzled-up list of collaborators, Jermaine Dupri,
Raphael Saadiq, and Dallas Austin among them. Hot
beats abound, especially on the dancefloor-ready "Up
All Night," first single "I Call it Love," and
"Why," but the overall vibe is pure Lionel, from the
Commodores-esque "What You Are" to the "Penny
Lover"-like prettiness of "Coming Home," to the wavy
steel-guitar-laced lament that is "Outta My Head."
Here are hooks that sink in instantly and vocals
that float as if grafted to a bar of Ivory soap.
Here, too, is a record unafraid of reaching
artistically; if 2004's Just For You was dominated
by classy but predictable ballads, Coming Home
represents Mr. Richie as the trailblazing musical
titan generations of fans fell in love by. Turn the
volume up to 11 and make room on the couch--a hotter
homecoming won't happen this year. --Tammy La Gorce
This is the sampler you can enjoy till the retail is
out.
Enjoy!
