Summary: Very relaxing and magnificent CD!
Comment: Paul Hardcastle returns with his fifth entitled "Hardcastle" album under his solo moniker and it is a wonderful and yet different sounding album from his previous release, 2005's "Hardcastle 4". That one had a funkier and less atmospheric sound but the fifth entry is different even from that one. Here, the songs in general have a mellower tempo and to my suprise, Helen Rogers who has blessed us for 15+ years is noticably absent from this album. Instead we have other vocalists who I've never heard before but they are still very good on here. Hardcastle never fails to impress but even better is that the final track "Take One" was actually mixed by his son Paul Jr.! Now how about that! We could very well have a musical Hardcastle dynasty in the making! Okay, maybe I'm stretching it a bit but Hardcastle 5 I think is a wonderful new entry and continues the Hardcastle legacy of producing great music for the ages. Perfect for long late night walks across town.

Summary: Best Hardcastle Yet!
Comment: Long time Hardcastle/Jazzmasters fan here, Hardcastle 5 compelled me to write this first review ever on Amazon I liked it so much! The instrumentals are out of this world, Paul never ceases too disapoint this synth addict! Of course all of us PaulMasters addicts love Helen Rogers best; however, I did include Beki's "Closer" when I recompiled my favorites from this album, I guess Paul's work really enhances this vocal track. Paul, if you read this, please keep up this trend with the instrumentals and keyboard work, they are awesome! Loved the keyboard work on "Freedom" from JM 5 immensely also.
