Our Take

Irish singer-songwriter Gilbert O'Sullivan's latest offering, "A Stranger In My Own Back Yard," is a delightful romp through a musical landscape that is both familiar and refreshing.

The album also sees O'Sullivan experimenting with different musical styles, such as the jazz-infused "If I Know You" and the hauntingly beautiful piano ballad "Just Like Me."
