Our Take

Ah, Bob Geldof. The man who brought us "I Don't Like Mondays" and Live Aid. Now, he's back with his latest offering: "How To Compose Popular Songs That Sell".

This album feels like a bizarre time warp back to the 80s, complete with cheesy synth hooks and over-the-top production. Geldof's vocals are as gruff as ever, but somehow endearing in a nostalgic way.

Tracks like "Every Heaven", with its catchy chorus and upbeat tempo, are sure to get stuck in your head for days. But then there's "Sugar Daddy", a bizarre mix of reggae and pop that leaves you scratching your head in confusion.

Overall, "How To Compose Popular Songs That Sell" is a mixed bag. Geldof clearly knows how to write a catchy tune, but sometimes his experimentation falls flat.

If you're a diehard fan of Geldof's 80s sound, you'll probably enjoy this album. But if you're looking for something fresh and innovative, you may want to look elsewhere.

In the end, this album is like a blast from the past – charming in its own way, but ultimately a bit dated. Give it a spin if you're feeling nostalgic, but don't expect to be blown away.

About the artist

Bob Geldof

Ah, Bob Geldof. The man, the myth, the legend. A larger-than-life figure in the music industry, Geldof has been making waves since his days leading the Boomtown Rats. With his distinctive gravelly voice and unabashedly political lyrics, he has carved out a unique place for himself in the pantheon of rock stars. But Geldof is more than just a musician. He is also a tireless campaigner for social causes, most notably as the driving force behind the Live Aid charity concerts in the 1980s. Who can forget his impassioned plea to "give us your fucking money" during the iconic event? It's that kind of raw emotion and unapologetic sincerity that sets Geldof apart from his peers. And let's not forget his foray into acting. Who could resist his magnetic performance as Pink in Pink Floyd's film adaptation of The Wall? With his wild eyes and rebellious spirit, Geldof brought a whole new dimension to the character. But perhaps Geldof's biggest impact has been as a solo artist. His albums have been met with critical acclaim, and his live performances are nothing short of electrifying. Whether he's belting out a classic Rats tune or a heartfelt ballad, Geldof never fails to captivate audiences with his immense talent and undeniable charisma. In short, Bob Geldof is a force to be reckoned with in the music world. With his combination of musical prowess, activism, and sheer star power, he is truly a one-of-a-kind artist. So next time you're looking for some good old-fashioned rock 'n' roll with a side of social commentary, look no further than Bob Geldof.
