Music Review: Westlife - The Love Album - Page 2

I did enjoy their version of "Have You Ever Been In Love", because I think it was sung in the style that Westlife make their own, but also a style that actually suits the song. It also made you feel the song, and the impact of the words.

One highlight was their version of one of my all-time favorite Garth Brooks songs, "The Dance". Their version of it, hit the right emotion on the head, and was just superb. I think if the master himself heard it, he would be impressed.

I was actually also impressed with their version of "You’ve Lost That Lovin' Feeling", because they actually make it worth it, and there is the right depth in their voices for this song. Much impressed.

For fans of Westlife, this is a must have album, and even for those who aren’t fans, it’s worth checking out. One thing that does need to be taken into consideration is that it is an album of covers, and it’s not supposed to be an ingenious piece of art.

Tracks not to miss: "The Dance", "You’ve Lost That Lovin' Feeling", "The Rose" and "Total Eclipse of the Heart."

I give it 3/5
