Bangles - Sweetheart of the Sun


Rating: 4/5

Review:
An enjoyable album



You've just got to love the Bangles, bless 'em.   They have recorded some great songs, well performed with sincerity but often a knowing little twinkle in the eye which have rightly lasted for decades in our consciousness and a couple of which are still in my mp3 Favourites file on my phone.  This album is right in that tradition, and while there's nothing here of the utter pop genius of Walk Like An Egyptian or If He Knew What She Wants, it's a good album of very decent songs, still sung in that distinctive Bangles style and with good, appropriate 21st-Century production.

This isn't a ground-breaking classic, but that's not what the Bangles are about.  It's an album which you stick on occasionally and just enjoy (and often smile along to, in my case).  Recommended.
