This is a truly great album. May I stress the word album? Yes, I think I will. What has unfortunately been lost in today's world of digital downloading is the TRUE ALBUM EXPERIENCE. An album experience where every song has its place and fits a certain flow. This is one of those albums. Track one feels like a track one. Track two feels like a track two. The last track feels like a great closer, etc. You get my drift. The album can be listend to straight through, taking the listener on a beautiful ride through all different themes, moods, and paces. I had already heard "See The Lights," "Let There Be Love," and "Stand By Love" on their 82》92 best of compilation. Those three tracks are all stellar, but I'd have to say my favorite tracks are the title track "Real Life," "African Skies," "Let The Children Speak," and "Banging On The Door." "Real Life" takes the title. The song is amazing. I seriously got my $$$'s worth with this track alone. I must have had it on repeat in my car for 3 straight days. Simply amazing. The video is great too, which you can see on their Visual History DVD. The emotion displayed in the singing of "African Skies" is unparalleled by most artists. I can continue but I think my point has been made. Buy this album for a truly rewarding listening experience. Anyone who writes this album off as over-produced or a sellout or adult contemporary needs to have their head examined. Not the case at all. Just true art with a fantastic effect.
