    Mark King's One Man

    By Derek O  Feb 6, 2001

    My favorite songs on this CD are "One Man" and "Half Written Songs". The main reasons why are that he shows a great deal of talent lyrically and musically. Also the way that he writes his music gives you a feeling of how he wanted the song to put ac...ross their meanings. Read more Less

Pro Reviews: One Man

  • All Music Guide

    Mark King's 1999 solo album One Man features 10 tracks written the year after his group Level 42 disbanded. These songs reflect the emotional depth King gained as a result of leaving his band and maturing as an artist. Producer Paul Taylor, who has also worked with the Verve and Texas, reflects the maturity of the songs in the album's sound, giving One Man a contemporary polish that lets King's distinctive voice shine through. As with the rest of the album, the single "Bitter Moon" has a lively, organic feel, and album tracks like "Half-Written Songs," "Resupply" and "Changing the Guard" reflect King's growth as an intelligent pop songwriter. A reflective but accessible work, One Man is an individual artistic statement.
