Album review: The Black Keys - Turn Blue
Share This Article:
The Black Keys are back and a little different. But that’s certainly not a bad thing.
Turn Blue kicks off at a much gentler pace to the duo’s last few outings with ‘Weight of Love’ but with Patrick Carney’s masterful drum skills and their standard smooth blues guitar you know this is still The Black Keys we all know and love.
Despite being another gem of an album, Turn Blue, aside from first single ‘Fever’ is relatively lacking when it comes to potential radio big-hitters.
Much like the titular second single ‘Turn Blue’, many of the tracks are more laid back than some of the more raucous soul of other releases.
Whilst this record makes for some great casual , chilled listening, it’s somewhat lacking in the hard hitting rock anthems which made Brothers and El Camino such great radio fodder.
