"Lovin' aint' easy, we've been crying in the rain"

BWO's new album seems to have polarized listeners so far. It's certainly more laid-back than Fabricator was, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. Personally, I loved it from the very first listen and was blown away by the opening track, which is set to the be next single. Right Here, Right Now is one of the best songs BWO have ever recorded, in my opinion. It belongs among their poppiest material, with a straightforward but addictive dance beat, string section, and near-choral vocals. I might write up a more detailed review of the album later, because I do have quite a bit to say, but as of now Right Here, Right Now is the definite highlight. It manages to be both regal and uplifting, with a very European sound that echoes past hits like Sunshine In The Rain and Chariots Of Fire. With all the releases these guys have had in the past five years, it's easy to take them for granted. Songs like this prove that they are still very much a force to be reckoned with.
