Nov 23, 2021The Bridge is out of time yet timeless, pure pop class.

Nov 23, 2021Sometimes the music is too comfortable for such strife, but there is more than enough here to satisfy. The voice still sounds great, too.

Nov 23, 2021‘The Bridge’ is so much more than a clever concept album, there are links between each of the songs and the prolific musician takes to the theme like a duck to water (sorry!) and whilst water is the common denominator, it is really about connection - connection between people, life and death and more.

Nov 24, 2021Happily, he retains the melodic sharpness that characterized 57th & 9th, his last solo album of straight-forward pop tunes. The Bridge isn't quite as crisp and clean as that 2016 effort, yet it moves along at a quick clip.
