 (6 Customer Reviews)
The opener of Where Our Love Grows, Swing Out Sister's eighth proper studio album, will knock out fans of the group's perfectly huge and swanky production. "Love Won't Let You Down" is a brassy stunner and a great way to high kick the door open, but it gives way to the lesser title track, a sweet number but nothing approaching a single. That's the problem for outsiders looking for another "Breakout," and it's been the problem for a while. So why is this stuck-in-a-rut band so beloved? It's the structure of the songs -- grand and warm with winks and giggles from the string and horn sections -- and Corinne Drewery's lovely and powerful voice, as bright here as it ever was. It's a delightful combination and almost enough to carry the listener through the album's low points. The Brazilian-flavored "Caipirinha" is a pointless "ba-ba-ba-bu-da" number that sounds like the band parodying itself, and the reprise of "Where Our Love Grows" stuck in the middle of the album is an instant skip. Luckily, the album's second half makes up for some of it with the snappy "Let the Stars Shine" and "Happy Ending," which has some twists and turns you'll want to stick with. There's a whole lot of references to time lost, regrets, and other wistful reflections, and the lyrics just hang on, slipping into cliché too often and in dire need of a Hal David touch. Of course, nobody does style over substance better than Swing Out Sister, Where Our Love Grows being a great example. If it's a sunny, breezy day and you're in bubbly love, go ahead. Just don't expect to remember you own a copy come fall. ~ David Jeffries

Swingout sister is one of the rare music groups that take you on a journey through the mind of the producer & the Heart of the musicians to a euphoric place of slender & ealation as well as satifying a hidden musical hunger that you never knew you had.It sets an enviornment that includes & excludes no (one.)If they ever need a 44year old soul/urban comtemporary & gospel vocalist please contact me. I honor & respect your brilliant talents & abilities. And I respect your right to have a LIFE!

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No  Fabulous
Swing Out Sister never fail to impress me. On their latest release they've created an atmosphere of lush lounge that has traces of '60s motown soulpop,latin soulbeats and jazz. A little more upbeat than the wonderful Somewhere Deep In The Night,this beautiful album can easily hold up it's own with such beautiful songs such as Love Won't Let You Down,When The Laughter Is Over,Let The Stars Shine and the title cut.A must-have.

Another superb cd
Yes, this group has been around since the late 80's and their music gets alot better with time. This cd is their best work yet. Like previous post mentioned, if you remember them for the hit "Breakout", you're really missing out. The song "Love Won't Let You Down" and "Where Our Love Grows" are instant classics. Do yourself a favor and pick up this cd and enter a world of real musicianship and excellent songwriting and arranging.

| | Swing Out Sister Somewhere Deep In The Night CD (2002) (Import) United Kingdom
Where Our Love Grows CD music
$7.55
SOMEWHERE DEEP IN THE NIGHT is the 2001 release from the adult alternative group Swing Out Sister. The band blends jazz, ambient, lounge, and pop into a sophisticated, pleasing sound. "Through the Sky," "The Vital Thing," and "Fool Tag" are among the songs here.
From their inception in 1985, Swing out Sister expressed love for the lush soft pop, soul, and soundtracks of the 1960s and early '70s. Vocalist Corinne Drewery and keyboardist Andy Connell were singing the praises of Burt Bacharach, Jimmy Webb, and John Barry back when those great artists were thought to be the definition of square and unhip. Now that those same artists are revered (and widely sampled and copied) by mainstream and alternative musicians alike, Swing out Sister may be regarded as following, rather than leading, the ...

Where Our Love Grows music CDs
$9.29 
Burgeoning smooth jazz superstar Steve Cole continues to bridge the gap between pop-jazz and classic R&B on his third studio album, NY LA. Featuring strong melodic statements and truly funky keyboards via the likes of Brian Culbertson and Marquis "Hami" Dair, NY LA is a moody and solid affair. From the disco-influenced "Off Broadway," which harkens back to the best work of the Crusaders, to the Donald Byrd-esque "Interlude IV," tenor saxophonist Cole deftly crosses the boundary from jazz soloist to R&B heavyweight.

| | Lino Patruno Jammin' For Condon CD (2002)
Where Our Love Grows CD music
$13.85
This tribute to Eddie Condon is quite logical. Like Condon, Lino Patruno is a rhythm guitarist who rarely solos but is quite talented at organizing all-star trad jazz bands. As with Condon, Patruno has the ability to gather together oversized groups and feature each of the musicians under conditions that bring out the best in each player. Patruno (who lives in Italy) outdid himself on this live concert. Eight horns, a four-piece rhythm section, and Rebecca Kilgore (who sings "Exactly Like You," "You Took Advantage of Me," and "Sugar") are heard in exciting ensembles and heated solos. All of the horns get their spots, and they occasionally pay tribute to Condon's sidemen (such as Tom Baker's emulation of Wild Bill Davison's growls on "You Took Advantage of Me" and Evan Christopher sometimes sounding a bit like Edmond Hall). The lineup of musicians consists of cornetist Ed Polcer ...

Lakota's story starts with bassist Carlos Ramirez playing in another New York City band. One day he picked up guitarist Kayne Konecny, when Kayne played him his demo, singing lead. Call it fate. Call it destiny. But, the next day it was decided the duo was going to start a new band. Their influences were to include classic melodic punk ala Sugar, the Foo Fighters and Samiam. And they wanted to inject their own style of playing into this tradition.With this, Lakota ...
