He's been inspired by the Blue Nile and Prefab Sprout, but in truth the synthetic textures and drum machines bring to mind a more downbeat Bruce Hornsby. But it should be noted that Love in the Modern Age wouldn’t work if it were all synths and no songs Kudos to Josh Rouse for recognizing the need. Love in the Modern Age sees Josh Rouse reinventing himself again for an album full of great singlesĬhange is good, but it’s not easy. Overall, it’s less of a curiosity than it might look on paper not so much a departure as it is a confidently mapped-out alternative route It's a welcome break after the heaviness of his previous outing and, with his smart pop songwriting and clear vocal delivery, the veteran singer takes quite easily to the role of new romantic bard The change in direction is wholly successful and will hopefully be embraced by long time Josh fans he manages to both sound markedly different and completely retain all the things that are great about him Sort by ADM rating Sort by most recent review
