Review

Tim Burgess has been living in Los Angeles since 1998, and one listen to his solo debut makes it clear he's a long way--mentally and physically--from Manchester. Known as the Jagger-lipped front man for Charlatans UK, Burgess includes only one tune that sounds anything like them, the sly and appealing ode to the West Coast "I Believe in the Spirit." From there it's a sunny swirl of surprisingly overt pop, with songs made to pump out of a beach-bound convertible. Motown soul is layered over the record, with hints of Dylan (see "Years Ago") on the side. There's also a steadier version of the Lenny Kravitz-esque falsetto Burgess recently (over)used on the Charlatans' Wonderland. Some of the songs here are a little overripe; "Oh My Corazon" and "Say Yes" suffer through choruses that go for giddy, but end up with a slightly misplaced cheeriness. Still, Burgess nails tracks like "We All Need Love," and the finale "All I Ever Do" is damn near perfect. With two additional tracks for the US release (this record has been available in Europe since 2003), I Believe rewards open-minded listeners with gentle-breeze melodies and the sound of a man finding bliss in unexpected places. --Matthew Cooke
