You don't have to be Russian to be seduced by Alex Bogoluboff's powerful new CD Think of Love. The classic melodic hooks of these 14 tracks would sing through in any language. From the synth-driven Eurobeat numbers that dare you to sit still, to the richly layered arrangement of "Lullabye", the word that constantly comes to mind is "passion". And while Bogoluboff's rugged baritone is a perfect fit for his pop idiom, he often adds the sexy voice of Sophia to the mix, creating a winning contrast of tone color in the duets. Think of Love is as cutting edge as the latest hip-hop, without ever forgetting the richness of its Slavic roots. Michael Minard Freight 52 Productions ASCAP
