Liquid Blue’s vocal approach to their R&B brand of original music wrap harmonies around dynamic instrumental stabs, growls, and grooves. In track “Give me Back My Love”, the chorus is infectious – mp3’d here as a clip. “Kashmir” is a Pop percussive guitar tune – with falsetto gentle vocal lines and another chorus that works. In “Rhythm of Love”, the pulsating disco ready beat demands strobe lights and a full floor – it has an 80’s dance feel to it, that is – no deep driving mid bass line that pushes the R&B music of today – and within that space we are reminded of candy contemporary offerings the likes of Kylie Minogue – but with a deeper, more soulful vocal quality. “Show me Love” has one of the coolest drum/rhythm lines we’ve heard. The long track here – “Supernova”, also the title track, is our favorite. It starts out with atmospheric percussion and keys – and moves into a kind of harmonic minor/Halloween musical bed. The vocals are haunting. Liquid Blue has a firm grasp on pop pleasing R&B writing and recording – and anyone looking for energy in their CD collection would be amiss to not include this in their collection.
