The way we feel a bout each others loving. So we get there and by the way, we’re playing with Luther Vandross, two shows a day at Radio City, so during the intermission we ran to the recording studio, where my boy was the maintenance engineer, and he paid the elevator boy 10 to keep quiet and not tell the boss that we record after hours. It’s the way he can dive into a heartbreaking ballad’s sea of tears without drowning in melodrama. The way life used to be Reflections of The love you took from me Oh, I'm all alone now No love to shield me Trapped in a world That's a distorted reality Happiness you took from me And left me all alone With only memories Through the mirror of my mind Through all these tears that I'm crying Reflects a hurt I can't control Although you're gone I. The Closer I Get To You (In The Style Of Luther Vandross & Beyonc) Official. In the end, Vandross is at his best when it comes to conveying pain and pathos, as he does on “Nobody to Love.” This is the kind of song that sums up what Vandross’ fans admire most about him. More satisfying is the funky, low-down groove of “I Can Make It Better,” a surprisingly earthy track from such an uptown kind of guy. His voice is so luxuriant I can understand why fans go all the way with him. Rap artist Spinderella’s sassy homegirl asides on “I Can’t Wait No Longer” represent a stylistic leap for Vandross, although the track itself ends on too perfunctory a note to give off sufficient sparks. Well, depends on what you mean by love-like any studio habitue Vandross is. He can still throw you a curve now and then.
Love-gone-wrong may be his favorite topic, but Vandross handles it in such an elegant fashion that it’s easy to forgive his frequent forays into such well-trodden emotional territory. Vandross writes so convincingly about loneliness and the downside of romance that his nickname should be the Heartbreak Kid. *** Luther Vandross, “Secret Lover,” Epic.
