Search - Paul Sabu :: Between the Light

Digitally remastered and expanded edition of this 1998 album from the AOR singer, songwriter and producer. With an impeccable production, this album would prove over time to be one of the '90s lost treasures. When Grunge had swept all before it, only a select few were carrying the flag for melodic Hard Rock in '98. If anything, Sabu has proven to be one of rocks survivors. No matter what Seattle had thrown at the world at the turn of the nineties, here was a man that was ready to buck the trend and stand or fall by what he believed in. Thanks to that energized album from '96, the blueprint was firmly in place and Sabu saw no reason to change it. The opening couplet of 'Spitfire' and 'Let a Sleeping Dog Lie' were full of the usual bombast and self-belief that we had come to expect, whilst 'Bring US Love' was a synth heavy throwback to the 'Heartbreak' and Kidd Glove eras. The glorious anthemic strains of 'If I'd Never Asked You to Dance', a real lighters-in-the- air moment, pushes the saccharine quota high, but the surging 'Til Your Hearts Calm' is a pure rush of adrenaline that will make sure your heart is anything but calm.
