UB40 - Labour Of Love IV
Review by Dana Prey
UB40's Labour Of Love IV is a well-crafted album that showcases the band's ability to create a seamless blend of reggae, pop, and soul music. The album features 12 tracks that pay tribute to some of the greatest love songs of all time, including classics by Bob Marley, The Beatles, and Elvis Presley.
The album's opener, "Holly Holy," is a beautiful rendition of Neil Diamond's 1969 hit, with UB40's signature reggae groove and smooth harmonies. The album's lead single, "I'll Be Your Baby Tonight," is another standout track, with a catchy melody and a playful, flirtatious vibe.
Throughout the album, UB40's musicianship is on full display, with each member bringing their own unique style and energy to the mix. The band's use of horns, percussion, and keyboards adds depth and texture to the songs, while the smooth vocals of lead singer Ali Campbell tie everything together.
