5 out of 5 stars panache and passion   December 13, 2004
S. Scott (Kent, UK)

At last! This truly great album has been re-released. People didn't get it first time round; but the combination of Duffy's outstanding songwriting and composing and Nigel Kennedy's (yes him!) extraordinarily diverse violin accompaniment is pure gold. Experimental in places (covering styles ranging from delicate pizzacato to Indian raga in the adjoining instrumental Transitoires), but never losing sight of melody, this album flows beautifully. And the songs...romantic, but not a cliche in sight, from a songwriter at the very pinnacle of his craft. Recent magazine reviewers of the album (Q, Mojo) have seen the light this time round. Those who bought it in 1993, have had a decade of pleasure. Those intrigued by Duffy's songwriting for Robbie Williams, should investigate the sheer panache and passion of Music in Colours........and then check out Duffy's band, The Lilac Time.


5 out of 5 stars Ignore the frills, this is Duffy's best album...   August 2, 2004

It's easy to knock this release - the addition of Nigel Kennedy's violin in the form of fairly unlistenable transition tracks between Duffy's compositions is more than enough to put some people off. Kennedy was always something of a joke figure, so slapping him on this album was commercial suicide.

But I think the collaboration is fabulous. Duffy's songs are given sparse but incredibly effective arrangements, presumably to make space for Kennedy's violin accompaniments, but as a result you get some of the songwriter's finest songs ever sung with a real simplicity that makes them hypnotic.

It's not all solid gold, but Natalie is one of my favourite songs full stop, and Charlotte's Conversations, She Wants To Share Her Magic and Totem are also pop perfection.

Hmmmm. A bit of a difficult one, this. You see, the good tracks are well up to Mr Duffy's usual standard which, for me, means it's excellent. However, his songs are interspersed with small (and sometimes not so small) musical transitions by Nigel Kennedy, which tend to grate mercilessly and spoil the flow of what could have been a pop gem. By all means buy it, but keep the cd player's remote to hand.
