About this Artist

Editorial Reviews

Released on what would have been the legendary Queen frontman's 60th birthday, EMI's Lover of Life, Singer of Songs collects 20 digitally remastered tracks from the late vocalist's eccentric solo career, including pre-Queen singles, soundtrack offerings, and cuts from his two official solo releases (1985's Mr. Bad Guy and 1988's Barcelona). This is good news for fans who were unwilling to dip into their savings to pick up Parlophone' s mammoth ten-disc Solo Collection, as it utilizes the majority of that collection's strengths. For the most part, this is all anyone could want from a non-Queen Mercury overview, and despite the inclusion of a few too many posthumous remixes, serves as moving eulogy to one of popular music's most beloved voices. [Lover of Life, Singer of Songs also comes in a two-disc edition, as well as a CD/DVD package.] Reverend Lee Power, All Music Guide

April 14, 2009: This album provides a look at some of Freddy Mercury's early work (The lead singer of Queen). Not only does it express a wide variety of songs written, composed and projected by Freddy himself, But also the songs play, it expresses his thoughts and feelings vividly through his gift of singing. It is a two disc set, representing day and night, and the first CD, on the last two tracks, are some of his earliest work. My only problem with the album is even though it is nice to hear different versions of the same song, Mr. Mercury overkilled "Love Kills" playing the song differently more than 12 times or so. As expected, his sound is based off the flow of an opera, with suck tracks as "Barcelona" amd "The Golden Boy". Overall, the album is fantastic and I would highly recommend it to any and all Queen or Freddy fans who are working up a collection.
