The Beloved
Conscience

THE REVIEW

Although seemingly trivial, some questions are permissible to ask oneself and others.

Many questions are asked in Sweet Harmony, and a concrete answer is found in unity.

Conscience is a big, huge room where the warm timbre of Jon Marsh resonates. Everything works because the elements are essential, and only that voice there, those notes, and that beat can make Sweet Harmony the anthem it is.

The jack-of-all-trades of the Beloved has always been keen to specify how, with the famous video clip, he had no intention of exalting the sexual character of the song. This can be hinted at while embarking on a more spiritual and communal path. Is it worth borrowing one of the most famous Beatles choruses and further exploring it? If the ultimate goal is Sweet Harmony, yes.

But do not make the mistake of considering Conscience a pretext for just the leading single.

Spirit welcomes you, makes you feel at ease, and if you're looking for the more electronic edge, you can find it, despite the uniformity of the album.

The corners of the room are indeed Lose Yourself In Me and Celebrate Your Life. These are truly gorgeous rhythms; those so representative of that decade of which the undersigned is particularly fascinated.

What saved the Beloved from the departure of Steve Waddington was precisely the wife of Jon, Helena (co-producer and co-author), so the project officially remained a duo.

If living in harmony with the world were easy, what is inside this work would be superfluous. Precisely because of the naive simplicity of these tracks, one can grasp the warmth with which to console oneself.

Was it love that made Conscience the band's most important work? I like to think so. Conscience is a bare record, and as such, it asks its questions in good faith.
