Rick Astley

A sophisticated pivot into adult contemporary and blue-eyed soul. Gone are the drum machines, replaced by lush arrangements and deeply earnest vocal performances.

Moments Worth Listening For
The soaring, gospel-inflected backing choir that lifts the chorus of The Ones You Love into a spiritual territory.
The deliberate, jazz-inflected piano opening of A Dream for Us that signals a departure from his dance-pop roots.
The way his baritone drops into a vulnerable, dry-mixed register during the bridge of Everytime.
