Album Review
It's easy to forget just what a world music pioneer Johnny Clegg was. Back in the '80s he was the first to mix rock and Zulu music, and scored a few global hits doing it. He's still going strong, doing exactly the same thing he's always done — but it still sounds great, and remarkably fresh and passionate. Perhaps his greatest strengths are that he makes no concession to musical fashion, and that he's never lost the true foundation of his music in South African Zulu culture. The conviction — along with several powerful, anthemic choruses — carries him through. The big question is exactly who it will appeal to. There's a retro flavor to the music that still tastes of the '80s, but in a good way, and with that decade never having quite gone out of style, that works for him. The true bottom line is that this is good music, made from the heart, with fire and soul — and that always stands the test of time.
Customer Reviews
Incredible
I'm a Johnny Clegg fan from way back and have all but 2 of his albums. One Life is fabulous. On this album Clegg sings in English, and Zulu (as he does on most of his other albums), but he also sings in French (Faut pas baisser les bras), and a mixture of Zulu and Afrikaans in Thamela. The is the first time he's included these two languages. The Revolution will eat it's children is dedicated to "Uncle Bob" Mugabe President of Zimbabwe. The songs are generally fun to listen to, even if you don't understand Zulu. The original CD insert translates the words (as does his website Johnnyclegg.com) and gives a little insight into the background. My favorites on this album are Ushanti Obulele (Zulu version), Thamela, Makhabeleni, and Jongosi. I do not speak a lot of Zulu, but I can understand some of it.
One Life
No words. Just stars. All the stars I can possibly give for this most excellent musical gift from the great Johnny Clegg.
Delightful!
This album is everything I've come to expect from Johnny Clegg. His music and lyrics inspire the heart and soul. He makes you think, laugh, and cry while making you believe you can do anything you set your mind to.
To me he has always spoken of hope and will, and "One Life" is no exception.
