Body & Soul

Rick Astley

A sophisticated pivot into adult contemporary and blue-eyed soul. Gone are the drum machines, replaced by lush arrangements and deeply earnest vocal performances.

It's the Rick Astley album for people who want to hear him actually sing soul music without the neon lights.

A sophisticated and gentle embrace of soulful maturity and romantic reflection.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The soaring, gospel-inflected backing choir that lifts the chorus of The Ones You Love into a spiritual territory.
The deliberate, jazz-inflected piano opening of A Dream for Us that signals a departure from his dance-pop roots.
The way his baritone drops into a vulnerable, dry-mixed register during the bridge of Everytime.
