Review

Spin (p.103) - 3.5 stars out of 5 -- "Yusuf's supple folk tunes predictably take a more spiritual route....'Maybe There's a World' echoes John Lennon's utopian 'Imagine'..."
Entertainment Weekly (p.127) - "The folky arrangements, melancholic singing, and romantic worldview of his early work are intact..." -- Grade: B
Q (p.150) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "[A] remarkable balancing act....'In The End' and 'I Think I See The Light'...benefit from Rick Nowel's lavishly detailed production."
Mojo (Publisher) (p.120) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "[A] disarmingly beautiful and, yes, spiritual record that calls for inter-denominational tolerance via songs that any liberal-minded Cat Stevens fan will adore."

Title Note

Personnel: Yusuf (acoustic guitar, piano, keyboards, synthesizer, bass instrument, triangle).

Recording information: 2006.

After 28 years away from the secular music world, Yusuf, the artist formerly known as Cat Stevens, returned with this strong folk-pop album in 2006. Echoes of his older work abound here--the spiritual lyrics, the rich, resonant vocals, the lovely descending guitar-picking patterns, and the emotional choruses that thrust themselves like starbursts out of elegant, chamber-pop verses.

And while songs like "Maybe There's a World" and a remake of his classic "I Think I See the Light" will comfort old admirers, Yusuf also takes some chances with unusual material. "Whispers from a Spiritual Garden" is a sparse instrumental featuring a vaguely Middle Eastern melody and a bowed, droning bass, with a brief passage of Rumi poetry. A cover of "Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood" shows a newly flinty, if melodramatic, side to the artist. The album-opener, "Midday," percolates gently with a laid-back vocal flowing sweetly over a calypso rhythm. This thoughtful, well-made record may not attract legions of new fans, but it is a welcome addition to the Cat Stevens canon.
