Album Review: Ben Lee - Love Is The Great Rebellion

StarStarStar

"'Love Is The Great Rebellion' delivers homely cosiness, but the short-term appeal puts it on the shelf a little too quickly"

More Ben Lee Ben Lee Profile

Armed with little more than a determined ego, few would’ve expected the brattish Ben Lee that emerged in the mid-‘90s to have gone the distance, providing several bona fide pop anthems along the way.

The Sydneysider done good for sure. On this, his 11th, we get ‘Ben Lee: Devoted Family Man’, singing nursery rhyme tweeness like Happiness to young daughter Goldie and punchy pop devotions like Big Love to wife Ione Skye. Ironically, Love Is The Great Rebellion delivers homely cosiness, but the short-term appeal puts it on the shelf a little too quickly.
