Fans haven't heard from Jeff Carson since 1995's mega-hits &Not on Your Love& and &The Car.& Album number three reminds us of what we've been missing for the last six years. Carson has a way with a ballad, so Real Life is chock-full of them. He pours his heart and soul into &My One and Only Love& and the touching &What's Not to Love.& Fans will be moved by the heartbreak of &Until We Fall Back in Love Again& and the failing relationship in &It Wouldn't Kill Me.& But they'll also appreciate the feel-good beats and uplifting messages of &Where Did I Go So Right,& &Shine On,& and &Divine Intervention.& Real Life is a nice re-introduction to this talented artist.
