Album Review: Stephen Dorrington - 1987

StarStarStar

"'Let Me Know' has an opening bass riff that will get stuck in your head for the rest of the day."

He's been described as covering everything from "big theatrical numbers to no frills rock'n'roll" and that is definitely what Stephen Dorrington has delivered on his 1987 EP.

While the intention seems to be to cover as many ranging styles as possible, the EP feels a little lost, jumping from genre to genre in a short period of time. Musically, though, there are some strong points; the piano on If Time Stood Still is a standout, and Let Me Know has an opening bass riff that will get stuck in your head for the rest of the day.
