Get On With Your Short Life is sure to appeal to Brian Kennedy's massive fanbase, as well as win him millions more. Having contributed to several Van Morrison albums and many of his live shows, and having enjoyed three multi-platinum hits in his homeland, Belfast-born Kennedy is already a big star in Ireland. He's also made inroads into other territories, touring with Tina Turner and the Corrs, and performing in Riverdance on Broadway. And this album--much of it co-written with the stalwart likes of Paul Brady, Boo Hewerdine and Curtis Stigers--is sure to bring more success. Though he occasionally descends into boy-band-ballad cliché ("Everytime" and "You Take My Breath Away"), Kennedy has put together a collection of relentless good taste. "Call Me Old Fashioned" is sparse and touching: ("Looking In) the Wrong Place", with its snatches of banjo and cleverly timed electronic whine, is beautifully put together by part-time collaborator Calum MacColl; "If You Love Me" shares the cool atmospherics of Sade: "So What If It Rains" approaches the melodic melodrama of Richard Marx, while the title track, softly railing at contemporary obsessions with youth and slimness, recalls 10CC's classic "I'm Not In Love". Yet Kennedy's main strength lies in his voice. He never growls or flips like Van, or soars like Tim Buckley, but his vocal is always clear and unfailingly pretty. - amazon.co.uk 1.
