Love All Nite (Music Club, 1999)

Love All Nite has all the slick sound and packaging of an excellent showcase of lovers rock.  Unfortunately, the material itself is lacking.  When lovers rock is done well, you can overlook the lovey-dovey sentimentality that's inherent in it.  The most saccharine lovers rock seems to come from the land that is credited with developing the sub-genre in the first place -- England -- and this is where Love All Nite comes in.  It collects songs released on British lovers label Fashion Records between 1985 and 1997, a body of work that I'm not terribly familiar with, but I hope for Fashion's sake that this isn't supposed to be their "best."  While there are some nice tracks -- Neville Morrison's "True Friends," Nerious Joseph's "No One Night Stand," Michael Gordon's "Turn Out the Light," and Peter Hunnigale's "Perfect Lady" -- few are exceptional.
