Kenny Loggins (1977) I Believe in Love

The most striking from Loggins' very first solo album, taking the smooth, eclectic arrangements of Loggins and Messina but heavily emphasising his soft soul style more. While the delightfully light jazzy verses are great, a bouncy samba feel it all powered by the dramatic flute based hook with it's wood wind groove sounding like a may pole dance a tight revolving riff of flute, piccolo, viola and who knows what else all to create a natural, acoustic flavoured tropical feel full of world music influences and a lot of passion. While there are some light funk material on the album and some great ballads this stands out as the most ear catching tune and easily the best to take away from it.

Mixing the old worldly charm of the medieval lettering he uses on his solo albums with the smooth sound displayed by the monochromatic and diffused aqua blue tint of the album cover; seductive and timeless.
