Rick Springfield - Alive

Review by Michael Dierckx

Alive, the latest album from Rick Springfield, is a powerful and energetic collection of songs that showcases the veteran rocker's enduring talent and passion for music. With his signature blend of rock and pop, Springfield delivers a series of anthemic tracks that are sure to get your blood pumping and your feet moving.

The album opens with the title track, "Alive," a catchy and upbeat number that sets the tone for what's to come. From there, Springfield takes listeners on a journey through a range of emotions and moods, from the introspective and poignant "The Best Damn Thing" to the driving and infectious "Crowded Solitude."

Throughout the album, Springfield's vocals are strong and confident, backed by a tight and polished band that knows how to rock. The production is crisp and clear, allowing each instrument to shine, from the soaring guitars to the pounding drums.

One standout track is "Irreplaceable," a heartfelt ballad that showcases Springfield's ability to write deeply personal and emotional lyrics. The song is a tribute to his late mother, and it's a moving and beautiful tribute that will tug at your heartstrings.
