 Nick Waterhouse has created another album that will surely be very appreciated by critics and the public for its elegance and its being easy-listening and at the same time 'catchy'.

 Even this time I don’t feel any of this in Nick Waterhouse’s new work. It’s a revival album that is well-played and easy to listen to. That’s all.

Nick Waterhouse’s album 'Never Twice' offers a well-executed homage to 1950s-60s soul, jazz, and rhythm and blues. Though the album is expertly arranged and easy to listen to, it lacks innovation and largely serves as a nostalgic revival rather than a cultural or social statement. The review situates Waterhouse as a contemporary artist fascinated by a bygone era, appealing primarily to those drawn to vintage sounds and revivalist styles. Overall, it’s a competent and charming record but limited in ambition. Listen to Nick Waterhouse's 'Never Twice' and experience a stylish revival of classic soul and rhythm & blues.

 "The Highlight, One Of The Best in all of Dorelli's discography, 'Su Ragazza Hush'... truly extraordinary."

 "A pity for the presence of certain songs that lower the desire to listen to Dorelli, and the evaluation of the Album."

Johnny Dorelli's 1965 self-titled album attempts to align with the rising Italian Beat music trend, mixing modern songs with older, less fitting covers. While some tracks like "Su Ragazza Hush" stand out for their soulful and reggae-infused beat, others feel outdated or misplaced. The album showcases Dorelli's signature slow style amidst diverse influences but suffered from poor sales.
