Rick Astley Album: “Keep It Turned On”

Rick Astley is one of those blokes you love or laugh at. I was always a casual fan and I sort of wrote him off after FREE. Recently, I picked up KEEP IT TURNED ON and found this guy just absolutely grooves. His voice remains a powerhouse and the snappy dance energy just pulses out of your car. It turned me on to Astley again and BODY & SOUL turned out to be equally underrated. This lad is a first rate crooner. He can belt them out with the best of them and he knows how to turn a sweet hook.

KEEP IT TURNED ON proved to me I'm still a fan and tracks like SLEEPING and WANNA BELIEVE prove once again you can believe in this guy's talent. Pure pop pleasure- guilty as charged!

This album was well worth the import price (over $40). I have all of Rick's albums and this is definitely my favorite. Not only does he have a wonderful voice (unlike all the 'cookie-cutter' singers out there now), he writes great songs (most singers don't/can't write music). This album has a great mix of slow and upbeat songs. I am especially surprised at the song "Romeo Loves Juliet", it's a slow ballad that shows off Rick's voice perfectly and ended up being my favorite song on the album. I highly recommend this album to anyone that likes Rick Astley's previous music.

OMG...it was SO great to hear his voice again, in NEW music! I just received mine in the mail and put it in...the first few notes were magical. Granted, I've been suffering from withdrawal of Rick. LOL

I definitely recommend this CD to any of his previous fans and any new fans of pop! He still knows how to groove! His voice does it all!

In his latest album release, Rick Astley doesn't dissappoint this fan. Starting out with "Sleeping", Rick shows that he has not lost anything in the many years that he has been away. In this album he has been able to keep up with the times and demonstrate that he is one of the best male artists in the field today. Writing all of the song's, Rick also shows that is also a talented writer as well. In my opinion the best songs on this album are "Breathe", "Don't Ask", "Keep it Turned On", and "Full of You". I suggest that if you are a Rick Astley fan you MUST buy this CD...Even if you're not you still should by it. You'll be happy that you did. And of course KEEP IT TURNED ON

Rick Astley has all but been forgotten in my CD collection...until I got my hands on this disc. This collection of songs fits well in today's music and Rick's voice is as strong as ever within each track. From the title track to the first single "Sleeping" to "Let's Go Out Tonight" and on to some of the ballads on the album, "Romeo Loves Juliet", "Breathe", "Full of You", this is a great disc to spin several times over. It's unfortunate this great album wasn't released in the US as I could imagine listening to several tracks on both pop and adult contemporary radio. Don't doubt on purchasing this album if you're a Rick fan or even a fan of pop/AC music...you will "Keep It Turned On."
