Sobre el álbum

El álbum Louder Than Words, de 1996, marcó el regreso de Lionel Richie al estudio de grabación tras una década de ausencia. En este trabajo, el artista se enfrenta al reto de adaptar su sonido clásico al nuevo paisaje del R&B de los años 90, dominado por el new jack swing y el hip-hop soul. Es un disco de transición y de modernización.

En primer lugar, la producción del álbum incorpora ritmos programados más contundentes y texturas sonoras más urbanas. Lionel Richie colabora con productores del momento como Jimmy Jam y Terry Lewis en algunas canciones, buscando un sonido más contemporáneo. El disco se aleja de la producción más orgánica de los 80.

El single principal, "Don't Wanna Lose You", es un buen ejemplo de esta fusión, combinando una de sus características melodías de balada con un ritmo de R&B moderno. El álbum intenta encontrar un equilibrio entre el artista que fue y las nuevas tendencias musicales.

El disco recibió una acogida tibia por parte de la crítica y el público. "Louder Than Words" es un valiente intento de adaptación de una leyenda a un nuevo tiempo, un trabajo que, aunque quizás no del todo logrado, demuestra la voluntad de Lionel Richie de no quedarse anclado en el pasado.

  1. Piece Of Love4:02

    Letra

    Time can heal a broken heart Oh, but does it really ease the mind I know it's hard for you Though you say that you're not longing for my touch I know it pains you much What's wrong, baby What's on your mind Did you leave a piece of love behind What's wrong, baby What is on your mind Did you leave a piece of love behind Night begins with calls from you Oh, asking me if I'm alright I'm really not sure, baby I'm wondering if your love for me has gone away Like I heard you say What's wrong, baby What's on your mind Did you leave a piece of love behind What's wrong, baby What is on your mind Did you leave a piece of love behind It's hard to say We've made mistakes But when it's not over It's best to put pride away Two eyes should not cry the tears of regret 'cause two lips won't let go of an age old lover's lie Oh, baby, oh, oh What's wrong, baby What's on your mind Did you leave a piece of love behind What's wrong baby What is on your mind Did you leave a piece of love behind I'd do anything for you I will give you all my heart Did you leave a piece of love behind Oh, did you leave your love behind

  6. Nothing Else Matters4:32

    Letra

    Do I love you? Let me tell ya, My mona lisa with a smile, Knowing all that we've been through, Together, We've lasted for a while. Hasn't it been so easy? But life can be that way, You made all the mountains, Seem so small. 'cause when there's love, True love, Nothing else matters, At all. Those precious moments, Are filled with so much tears and laughter; Funny how the time does fly. Was it all a plan, Or some passing chances? I won't ask the reason why. If I say I love you, Let me tell you like it is, Love you till the stars stars, All start to fall. 'cause when there's love, True love, Nothing else matters, At all. When I say I love you, Let me tell you like it is, Love you till the stars, All start to fall. Yes when there is love, True love. Yes when there is love, True love. Yes when there is love, true love; Nothing else matters, Nothing else matters, Nothing else matters, At all......

  11. Lovers At First Sight6:56

    Letra

    Love can have its mysteries Some strange, enchanted notion You can't explain just how it begins A feel, a smile, a potion But something goes off in your head You can't believe the words you just said It's not so hard to see the light Lovers at first sight When the right one comes along There is no hesitation You wonder how you lost all control It's just a revelation And that's the way I felt with you One glance was all it took and I knew You and I were just so right Lovers at first sight (Je t'aime beaucoups, mon cherie) I love that you love me (Jai' envie d'etre pres de toi) I want you too 'Cause when we are together There is no place in this world that I'd rather be Girl, (Dura-t-il pour toujours?) Yes, it's forever (Est-ce que tu me promets?) I promise my cherie 'Cause you know nothing will change The way we're gonna live together In our litle fantasy That's the way I felt with you One glance was all it took and I knew You and I were just so right Lovers at first sight Fade... (Depuis que j'etais un enfant) (Je t'aimais) (Mais tu ne savais pas que j'existais) (Et maintenant que nous sommes ensemble) (Tu dis que c'est l'amour du premier coup)
  12. Climbing6:26

    Letra

    Climbing to the top I'll tell you anything you want We're on this planetary journey to a place beyond The independent minds will tell you The colors you should wear But know the game of life Is just a game of solitaire Climbing to the top The ones you love will come and go When you lose you sacrifice Chasing the rainbow And if you should climb this magic ladder The story will unfold Just remember when you reach the top All that glitters is not gold Time, just take the time What you think is what you find You know the answers You're no ordinary dancer Face the changes you go through Have the faith in what you do You know the answers You're no ordinary dancer Climbing to the top I'll tell you anything you want Were on this planetary journey To a place beyond You can climb the highest mountain Swim the deepest seas The only thing that matters Is you will find your destiny You know the answers You're no ordinary dancer Climbing to the top I'll tell you anything you want You're on an imaginary journey To a place beyond You can climb the highest mountain Swim the deepest seas The only thing that matters Is you will find your destiny
