The Promise (original) (raw)

Opera-pop group [Il Divo](/s/Il Divo) don't stray from their blueprint on their fourth proper album, [The Promise](/s/The Promise), which isn't greatly different in feel or form from its predecessors -- it still consists of stately, dramatic Euro-pop covers of soft rock classics balanced by a couple of made-to-order tunes. Previously, they sang songs that were hits the world over -- "Nights in White Satin," "Have You Ever Really Loved a Woman," "All by Myself" -- and here they rely on "The Power of Love," ABBA's "The Winner Takes All," and [Charles Aznavour](/s/Charles Aznavour)'s "She," which wind up skewing this toward the group's Euro roots. Ultimately, fans can choose to listen to this or to the other [Il Divo](/s/Il Divo) albums, because [The Promise](/s/The Promise) offers more of the same. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine
