ALBUM REVIEW: R Plus - For Lovers, Not Killers out on Armada Music


 Carrying a title that shows the kind of people we ought to be standing with, R Plus ‘For Lovers, Not Killers’ echoes and advances the theme of ‘We Disappear’. With freshly re-spun tracks from the 2022 album as well as several bonus tracks (such as a cover of Bruce Springsteen’s ‘I’m On Fire), this nine-piece body of work reflects the passion, intensity and whirlwind emotions of a love on fire, with Amelia Fox’s magnetic vocals driving the message home. It flows smoothly and effortlessly like any of Rollo Armstrong’s works and will resonate with all manner of listeners that favour the sweet voice of romance over the fierceness of a call to arms.

[item value="10"] R Plus - For Lovers, Not Killers[/item]
[content title="Summary" label="Overall Score"]Rollo is one of the most influential artists in the electronic music scene with excellent knowledge of the huge epic euphoric synths as this is manifested in his chart topping project Faithless. As R Plus along with Amelia Fox presents a stunning album packed with fantastic melodic chilling electronic tracks with deep smooth basslines, mesmerizing synths, soaring strings and of course the memorable melodies. For Lovers, Not Killers is a surprising beauty that you will enjoy in his mixed mode from start to finish on repeat as all the tracks are just outstanding. With great sexy rhythms and hypnotizing grooves will be hard not to feel surpassed from its subliminal strength. One of my favorites is the cover of Love Will Tear Us Apart in truly spacey and tripping out cinematic direction. It's highly recommended! #PureGold Love IT [/content]
