Leslie McKeown - Sweet Pain
Review by Jaymin Joshi
Sweet Pain is the latest album by Scottish singer Leslie McKeown, known for his work as the lead vocalist of the 1970s pop group, Bay City Rollers. The album is a mix of new original tracks and covers of classic songs.
The album opens with the upbeat and catchy "Love Letter," which sets the tone for the rest of the album. McKeown's vocals are strong and full of energy, and the instrumentation is lively and fun.
The title track, "Sweet Pain," is a slower ballad that showcases McKeown's ability to convey emotion through his singing. The song is beautifully arranged, with a piano and strings accompaniment that adds to the overall emotional impact.
Other standout tracks on the album include the cover of the classic song "I Can See Clearly Now," which features a reggae-inspired beat and McKeown's unique vocals, and "The Road is Long," a powerful ballad about the struggles of life.
