Kenny Loggins
Vox Humana
Genre: Pop Rock
3.25 out of 5
Highlights:
Forever
The opening track sounds just like “Footloose”, which sounds similar to “I’m Alright”, which is pretty much the Kenny Loggins story.
So much of this is perfectly serviceable and bland AOR pop. It’s almost impossible to hate but at the same time, difficult to remember.
Like a carbon of Lindsey Buckingham, Loggins also manages to sound like a cut rate Rick Springfield (probably due to Tim Pierce’s involvement on guitar).
The David Foster-ism on this record is abundant and it’s probably because of that that the record sounds bigger than it really is.
“Forever” is a good example of this outsized production excess for what should have been a lovely ballad, although I kind of enjoyed it, despite its grandiosity…or maybe because of it.
