www.top-500.com
Melody Road is Neil Diamond's debut album as an artist signed to Capitol
Records. His 32nd studio album, it is the first album of original music
Diamond has recorded since 2008's well-received Home Before Dark, which
debuted on the US album charts at #1.]It was produced by Don Was and
Jacknife Lee.On September 8, 2014, six of the tracks from Melody Road were
premiered at the Capitol Records studios in Hollywood, CA at a listening
party for a small group of music industry executives and journalists.
Following the event, Billboard wrote that the album is "rich in
orchestration that retains the dark rustic qualities of his last two studio
albums of original material, 12 Songs and Home Before Dark. Of the songs,
the article stated that " 'Something Blue,' the most commercial of the songs
played Monday, has the classic Diamond mid-tempo lilt; the ballads 'The Art
of Love' and '(Ooo) Do I Wanna Be Yours' offer springboards for Diamond's
still-potent voice; and 'Seongah and Jimmy' is a eyewitness account of a
romance between a woman from Korea and a man from Long Island." The Wall
Street Journal wrote that "The Art of Love" is a "tender offering from
Diamond, who at age 73, hasn't lost that ability to convey a wide swath of
emotions in just four minutes."
