Music Style: Jazz/Pop/R&B/Soul/Classical.
This album is dedicated to The Style Council fans who thought Confessions Of A Pop Group was a real gem. Confessions Of A Pop Group is a musically diverse record and it is divided into 2 parts,
The Piano Paintings and Confessions Of A Pop Group.
The Piano Paintings consists of 5 tracks and it blends in some grand arrangements of Jazz and Classical music, the second track is done in acapella at it is very distinctive.
The other half of the album which is Confessions Of A Pop Group contains elements of innovative Pop, R&B and soul and there are six tracks. This whole album has a total of 11 tracks, some of them go on for a long time. track 5 is a three piece suite and it lasts for 10 minutes. The closing track with is a title track goes on for 9 minutes and it is one of my favorite songs on this record.
I listened to this album when i was very little and it was about the time when i was at nursery so it takes me well back to that time period. My Dad had this album on vinyl record.
The lead vocalist is Paul Weller who also used to be in The Jam and he is one of the best songwriters of all times. he sets an awesome example for artists who are willing to go against the popular music trends and create original music.
This is an original album and i believe this is the best record and most well crafted record by The Style Council and is one of the most misunderstood records in music history. I totally disagree with the negative reviews that this album has received in the time of it's release and i felt the reviews were so demeaning and unfair. Music artists should have the rights to be freely creative since music should be bringing colour to this globe and bring people together.
The music industry has put in a very unfair standard concerning selling a million copies and sticking to the formula that is working and it really should end right now. I believe this album i am reviewing will play a part in expanding your musical horizons if you are willing to go beyond what is popular.
When you listen to The Style Council: Confessions Of A Pop Group, don't just listen to a couple of tracks, play the whole album from start to finish and don't skip anything. you have got to give it chance to grow on you.
The Singles on this record are ''Life At A Top Peoples Health Farm'', and ''How She Threw It All Away''. and they are amazing tracks that will play a part in broadening your musical tastes and will inspire you to move past the plastic fabrication in the Pop music culture.
My favorite song on this album is the title track and it is musically innovative and exciting.
It exposes the popular music culture of the time and it will challenge you to be true to who you are rather than what you are not.
I pray this album will be used in a powerful way to challenge music artists and music listeners to step out of their comfort zones and take a chance on music and art that is more adventurous and risky, and don't fall for music that sounds the same all the time. May God bless you.
