Lionel Richie's talent for crafting picture-perfect pop songs cannot be understated. In fact, his remarkable success during the 1970s and '80s, as both the leader of the Commodores and a solo artist, often overshadows his reputation as a remarkably deft songwriter. His singles--"Hello," "Still," and "Sail On," for example--could seem subdued and simple, but they each contained a certain melancholy mood and stories within stories, like successively smaller Russian dolls. After virtually vanishing for over a decade following his multi-platinum record DANCING ON THE CEILING, he resurfaced in the late '90s.
JUST FOR YOU is the third album by this reborn Lionel Richie, and it finds him getting comfortable in his new mode, which is refreshingly close to the pop classics he penned years before. The album is stocked full of simple yet multifaceted pop songs swimming in hooks; there's a dash of R&B from his old days, especially on the jazzy, funky "Do Ya," but, for the most part, Richie sticks to his trademark brand of adult-contemporary pop.

LIONEL AT HIS BEST THIS CD IS WORTH BUYING, A SONG FOR EVERY MUSIC LOVER Submitted by kdj2246 (ATLANTA) Was This Review Helpful? YesNo 1 of 2 found this helpful.
Sumptuous From Beginning to End This is truly a great "old school" song collection by one of the best. Lionel has just gotten better in the intervening years since ..whenever. With the exception of the last track, this isn't party music like "Dancin' on the Ceiling." This is rich, mature, an expression of a man who has survived some pain. Try it; you'll like it!

A lot richer! It is a privilege to be the first one to review Lionel's new offering here. This album has totally captivated me like his earlier one's 'Can't Slow Down' and 'Lionel Richie' (His self titled album). He has certainly bounced back with this album. 'Just For You', 'Long Long Way To Go' and 'Just To Be With You Again' are the highlights in this CD. Go buy it! Submitted by adityakumardsv (Hyderabad, India) Was This Review Helpful?
