AMG Review of Much More Than Much Love

Andy Kellman
All Music Guide

Finley Quaye, an artist with an exceptional voice, might not ever be able to live down the fact that he titled one of his albums Vanguard. Much More Than Much Love shows all the signs of a valiant attempt to "bring real music with real soul and real honesty back" -- Memphis soul, delicately plucked country ballads, throwbacks to the adult alternative class of 1995, and nods to Quaye's reggae roots all included -- and it's safe to the point of making an argument in the opposite direction. Quaye's unique vocals, as have always been the case, remain the greatest draw.
