Produktbeschreibungen

Texas kommen aus Schottland. Mit The Hush greifen sie nach der Nr. 1 in Amerika. Texas wird wesentlich vom Motown und vom modernen amerikanischen R&B beeinflußt. Jetzt denken wir bei Motown natürlich sofort an Soul, aber Texas ist ungefähr so weit weg von echtem Soul, wie Dallas von der Heimatstadt der Band, Glasgow. Nicht, daß sie es nicht versuchen würden. Der Refrain des Eröffnungstracks "In Our Lifetime" ist eine zu klare Imitation des Refrains der TLC-Single "Creep". Bei "Tell Me The Answer" eifert Frontfrau Sharleen Spiteri Prince's Falsett im Stile von "Kiss" nach. Ihrer überproduzierten Stimme fehlen aber das Gefühl und das erotische Zucken von TLC und Prince. Aber das Album ist mit üppigen, großartigen Instrumentalarrangements geschmückt, wie sie für guten Britpop typisch sind; sie machen Texas zur Braut von, na, sagen wir mal Robbie Williams Bräutigam. --Beth Massa

Review by Stephen Thomas Erlewine

Blessed with a stylish production and sharp commercial songs, White on Blonde made Texas into superstars everywhere except America -- a situation familiar to many British acts of the '80s and '90s. Like most of their peers, Texas failed to deliver in the U.S. because of bungled promotion, since singles like "Black Eyed Boy" could have easily fit onto adult alternative radio. Texas must have been aware of this, since they switched labels in America, releasing White on Blonde's sequel The Hush near-simultaneously in the U.S. and the U.K. -- a sure sign that they were aiming for the big time. As it turns out, they pulled off a minor coup with The Hush -- they build on the strengths of White on Blonde, creating a sophisticated, sexy pop album that manages to balance commercial and creative concerns, with seemingly very little effort. It won't please longtime fans, who might be pining for a return to the rock of their early records, but the album's lush blend of melody, blue-eyed soul, dance and pop is undeniably alluring. Wisely, they take their cue from Sharleen Spiteri's hushed vocals, which are sultry but never histrionic. Some could argue that the entire affair is too self-consciously mature -- after all, the majority of the album is devoted to mid-tempo pop numbers, and even the up-tempo cuts never work up much of a sweat -- but the fact remains, few bands are capable of delivering a mainstream pop record as assured and listenable as this.
