Blue Views

EW's GRADE
B

Details Lead Performance: Paul Carrack

This journeyman's fifth solo effort, Blue Views, seems designed to establish the Ace/Squeeze/Mike and the Mechanics vet as a sort of Michael Bolton for people with taste. And it largely succeeds, offering 11 streamlined pop-R&B numbers ranging from pleasant fluff (''For Once in Our Lives'') to heartfelt tenderness (''Eyes of Blue''), all showcasing Paul Carrack's effortlessly soulful vocals.
