Chris de Burgh is rightly described as a "songwriter's songwriter," and this collection shows why. The 16 selections on
Lady in Red showcase
de Burgh's immaculate pop instincts. Ranging from epic
Elton John-esque ballad statements such as the title track and
"Here Is Your Paradise" to sprightly pop/rockers like
"Don't Pay the Ferryman," de Burgh's elegant touch is truly a wondrous thing to discover. The collection is also buttressed by an unreleased composition,
" There's a New Star in Heaven Tonight," which is a fitting and loving tribute to
Lady Diana.
