Our Take
Roy Orbison, the man with the voice of a melancholic angel, returns posthumously with the album "A Love So Beautiful/Unchained Melodies." This compilation of love songs is a bittersweet journey through heartbreak, longing, and lost love. From the haunting croons of "Crying" to the upbeat tempo of "Oh, Pretty Woman," Orbison's timeless classics still manage to tug at our heartstrings decades later. His voice, rich and emotive, transports us to a place where love is both beautiful and heartbreaking. The album also features new interpretations of Orbison's hits by The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, adding a lush orchestral touch to the already poignant melodies. The symphonic arrangements elevate the songs to new heights, making them feel even more grandiose and cinematic. While some may argue that reimagining Orbison's classics is sacrilegious, the album manages to pay homage to the legendary artist while also bringing a fresh perspective to his music. It's a delicate balancing act that is pulled off with finesse. Overall, "A Love So Beautiful/Unchained Melodies" is a triumphant tribute to the late, great Roy Orbison. It's a reminder of the enduring power of his music and the timeless themes of love and loss that continue to resonate with listeners today. Orbison may be gone, but his music lives on, leaving behind a legacy of heart-wrenching beauty.
