This new album popped up on our “New Music” feed on Apple Music, probably after listening to the advance singles (and playing them on New Zealand Net Radio) but apart from that has been a bit of a ghost. We did come across a review on Sputnik Music which gives a clue why:
A Light That Waits is an outing only for the most diehard of The Fray followers. It’s an even plainer version of what they once were, which is actually an impressively low bar to have to crawl under, and whatever emotional element once existed in their music has been vanquished.
As usual it seems our love of melodic well performed and produced music makes us unfashionable (that common ‘insult’ of radio-friendly we take as a complement!) – oh well. Lets enjoy an album of melodic radio friendly pop for the week, their first album since 2014.
New Zealand Net Radio plays a song from our irregularly updated #albumoftheweek every hour from 9am to 12pm. Listen in @tunein at http://tun.in/sfAtE or on the web player.
