Lionel Richie – Louder Than Words (1996/2015) [Qobuz FLAC 24bit/96kHz]

Released in 1996, Louder Than Words was Lionel Richie’s first album of new material in 10 years. Fans welcomed Richie back with enthusiasm; the album peaked at number 28 and sold over half-a-million copies in the US.

After the greatest-hits collection Back to Front disappeared without a trace in 1992, Lionel Richie spent four years making Louder Than Words, his first album for Mercury Records. Although there are some slight attempts to incorporate new jack and hip-hop influences into Richie’s sound, Louder Than Words relies on his trademark balladeering, which remains his forte. All of the weak moments on Louder Than Words are ill-advised forays into rap – to put it bluntly, he can rap about as well as Snoop Dogg can sing. Although the ballads aren’t as strong as his late-’70s and early-’80s standards, they are nevertheless pleasant, which makes the record a worthwhile purchase for fans.
