By 2007 you would have thought Lowe had looked at love from all sides, but here the crooning wordsmith manages to find new facets. He easily swings between good and bad times—“Hope for Us All” uses uplifting horns to buoy a song about passion’s healing power; “I Trained Her to Love Me” features a sprightly romantic feel masking a lyric about a game-player. And that’s Chrissie Hynde purring along with Lowe on “People Change”, a cruisy soul-pop track about falling out of love.
