Double - Blue

Review by Julian S

Double's album "Blue" is a smooth and soulful collection of tracks that showcases the duo's musical versatility and talent. From the opening track "Ranchero" to the closing ballad "Love Is All We Need", the album takes listeners on a journey through various genres and moods.

The standout track "Captain of Her Heart" is a timeless classic, with its haunting melody and poignant lyrics. Other notable tracks include the upbeat and funky "Your Prayer Takes Me Off" and the jazzy "Woman of the World".
