sounds good to me!

I think they're pretty good. Yes, they do sound a bit like Bon Jovi songs, but I don't necessarily see that as a horrible thing.

That said, I won't pass much judgment on a few 10 second snippets. I'll wait until I hear the FULL songs before I deem them good or bad.

Same for me...the snippets didn't grab me but I want to hear the songs in full before I say if I like them or not. In the past, I've never connected with Richie's solos but willing to give this one a go!! And I definitely want to see him live!

The snippets.. they're not bad but definitely not what I was expecting. Still, I can't wait to hear the album in full!

Hehe, I'm strong enought not to listen to the snippets so I don't know what you're talking about :)
On the other hand, I need to find the songs from the list you mention as already released. There are some I don't know of.

Which are you looking for?

I have the demo of Discipline but not According to The Gospel Of Love. Both tracks are from Desmond's album which I really like! I also have Willing To Try.
But what are the others? Are those songs written by Richie sung by other artists or did Richie record them?

As far as I know:

Let's Get Inside - This was the theme song to "The Insider" when Pat O'Brien hosted it. You can find it on youtube, a short video of Richie in the studio working on it with Luke Ebbin from...2005ish?

Our Secret Place - Unreleased but it's the 4th snippet in the video.

The rest are unreleased. If they've been covered by someone else I haven't heard them.

Don't you think it's odd that this song was named in the list and the other three supposed new album snippets weren't? Why just that one?

any chance you could supply the youtube link for The Insider theme? thanks in advance!
