how dreamy is the rufus album?
very (and since i'm not gay, i rarely get the urge to use the term "dreamy", so there's got to be something there; or maybe rufus is just turning me gay, i dunno).

i've yet to buy the actual album (i've been listening to the roommate's cd) but i can easily spot well over 5 or 6 incredibly cool songs on it already. and the lyrics. wow. some classic lines have already been spotted. it's still about love. this time it's more about letting go of the dream of love, i'd say - i know it sounds like a reviewer's soundbyte, but it's not, it actually comes more out of the arrangements and the overall atmosphere than the actual lyrics.

even though there's no new ground being broken here i can safely say i really like this album a lot. rufus has a way of easily nudging his way into your heart, it seems. this one doesn't feel force, or have the cabaret of the previous two albums. less poppy, more dreamy. yep. it all comes back to that :)

hmm.
