Album Review: Leo Sayer - Restless Years

27 January 2015 | 5:18 pm | Sebastian Skeet

"He showcases his high range and his unique way of phrasing."

More Leo Sayer More Leo Sayer

It’s easy to forget that Sayer had numerous hits over the decades as he hasn’t released anything  new in six years.

Strangely this album ranges in style from country to rock and of course his own favourite genre, dance groove, which he tends to revel in. On tracks like Competing With A DJ he showcases his high range and his unique way of phrasing. There’s a fair dose of middle-of-the-road songs like the title track and the well-rounded (a-hum) Millennium Wheel. Whereas How Did We Get So Old is more true to his classic quirky sound.
