Our Take

Christopher Cross, the smooth sailing maestro of yacht rock, has finally been given his due with the release of "The Definitive". This album is a nostalgic trip down memory lane for fans of easy listening and soft rock.

From the moment you press play, you're transported to a time when the only worries were whether the wind was blowing in the right direction for a leisurely sail on the open sea. Cross's signature velvety vocals float effortlessly over lush arrangements, reminding us why he was such a sensation in the late 70s and early 80s.

Tracks like "Sailing" and "Arthur’s Theme (Best That You Can Do)" showcase Cross's knack for crafting catchy, feel-good tunes that stick with you long after the music stops. The production on this album is top-notch, with every instrument shining through and creating a warm, inviting atmosphere.

However, "The Definitive" is not without its flaws. Some of the tracks can feel a bit dated and clichéd, and Cross's laid-back delivery may not appeal to listeners looking for something more edgy and innovative. But for those who appreciate a good toe-tapping melody and a dose of nostalgia, this album is a must-listen.

Overall, Christopher Cross's "The Definitive" is a solid addition to his discography. It may not reinvent the wheel, but it serves as a reminder of why he became a household name in the first place. So sit back, relax, and let the soothing sounds of Christopher Cross wash over you like a gentle sea breeze.

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.
