Reviews:
By the mid-'80s, Peabo Bryson had celebrated many a successful hit and secured an impressive tenure on the Billboard R&B charts. But it was 1984's Straight from the Heart that helped shatter the glass ceiling and make Bryson a celebrated star on the adult contemporary and pop charts as well. His ballad "If Ever You're in My Arms Again" was the catalyst, and the uptempo number "I Get Nervous" proved to be a reasonably strong follow-up. Trying to build on this success, Bryson released Take No Prisoners a year later, and it was met with a lackluster response. Though songs like "There's Nothin' Out There" and "She's Over Me" fared well on the R&B circuit, they failed to make an impression on the pop charts -- an unfortunate circumstance, as many of the songs on the album bested the material on Straight from the Heart. This album is a nice snapshot of an artist enjoying the second of many phases of success during his career. ~ Rob Theakston
A great CD by one of the best vocalists in the world. Peabo has outdone himself with this one. Ballads, duets, soul, pop, a great mix of everything. Even a duet with Deborah Gibson. A must for a CD collection.
BEEN A FAN OF MR. BRYSON AND HIS WORK SINCE HIS " REACHING FOR THE SKY"
ALBUM. "UNCONDITIONAL lOVE" IS BY FAR HIS BEST WORK YET!!! IT IS MY FIRM
OPINION THAT MR. BRYSON HAS NEVER RECEIVED THE ACCLAIM HE DESERVES. IF YOU HAVE NOT BEEN PRIVILEDGED TO HEAR HIS MUSIC, THEN YOU HAVE BEEN DEPRIVED LONG ENOUGH, AND IF YOU ARE LIKE ME; A TRUE ROMANTIC AT HEART, YOU WILL THOROUGHLY ENJOY HIS LATEST CD AND ALL OTHERS TO COME. IF "UNCONDITIONAL LOVE" IS AN INDICATION OF WHAT TO EXPECT FROM MR. BRYSON IN THE FUTURE, WE WILL ALL BE THE BETTER HAVING LISTENED. MANY ARTIST COME AND GO,BUT LONG AFTER THE FADS WILL REMAIN THE SOULFUL AND ANGELIC SOUNDS OF PEABO BRYSON."YOUR HEART IS MY HOME"
Great new CD by Peabo Bryson. His voice is very clear and expressive. My favorite of the songs is "Somebody in your life". He really hits a great mix with that one.
