Our Take

Ah, Christopher Cross. The man who made sailing cool, and now he's back with a compilation album that will have you riding like the wind (pun intended).

"Ride Like The Wind - The Best Of" is a collection of Cross' greatest hits, from the iconic title track to the smooth sounds of "Sailing". This album is like taking a trip back in time to the golden age of yacht rock, where the sun is shining, the drinks are flowing, and the sax solos are endless.

Cross' velvety voice is as soothing as ever, effortlessly gliding over the lush arrangements and catchy melodies. Tracks like "Arthur's Theme (Best That You Can Do)" and "Think of Laura" showcase Cross' songwriting prowess, blending heartfelt lyrics with infectious hooks.

But what really sets this album apart is the sense of nostalgia it evokes. Listening to these songs feels like coming home after a long day, kicking off your shoes, and sinking into your favourite armchair. It's comfort food for the ears.

So, if you're looking for a musical escape to a time when mullets were cool and shoulder pads were a fashion statement, look no further than "Ride Like The Wind - The Best Of". Christopher Cross may have been ahead of his time, but his music is timeless. Get ready to set sail on a smooth journey through the sounds of the '80s. Bon voyage!

About the artist

Christopher Cross

Ah, Christopher Cross. The man, the myth, the yacht rock legend. With a breezy sound that defined the soft rock era of the late 70s and early 80s, Cross has cemented himself as a key player in the smooth tunes game. Born in San Antonio, Texas, Cross burst onto the scene with his self-titled debut album in 1979, which featured the iconic track "Sailing". That song alone won him five Grammy Awards, including Album of the Year and Song of the Year. Not bad for a guy with a penchant for nautical themes and silky vocals. Cross's music has a timeless quality to it, evoking feelings of nostalgia and a simpler time. It's as if he's serenading you from the deck of a luxury yacht, surrounded by a sea of mellow vibes and smooth melodies. His songs are like a warm hug on a chilly day, wrapping you in a blanket of musical comfort. Despite his success in the past, Cross has continued to release new music, proving that he's more than just a one-hit wonder. His latest album, "Take Me As I Am", showcases his talent for songwriting and his ability to craft infectious hooks that stick in your head for days. So whether you're a die-hard fan of yacht rock or just looking for some feel-good music to brighten your day, Christopher Cross is a name you need to know. Raise your anchor, set sail with his smooth sounds, and let yourself be carried away to a musical paradise. Christopher Cross may have been sailing for decades, but his music will never go out of style.
