Richard Clapton - Suit Yourself

Review by Arlys Souza

Suit Yourself, the 14th studio album by Australian singer-songwriter Richard Clapton, is a collection of 11 tracks that showcase his signature style of rock and blues-infused pop. From the opening track, "Suit Yourself," to the closing ballad, "The Way You Are," Clapton's distinct voice and guitar playing are front and center.

The album features collaborations with some of Australia's top musicians, including Paul Kelly, Shane Nicholson, and Diesel, adding depth and variety to the sound. Standout tracks include "Diamond Mine," with its catchy chorus and driving rhythm, and the poignant ballad "Walk On Water."

Clapton's lyrics are introspective and often autobiographical, with themes of love, loss, and self-reflection woven throughout the album. His songwriting is at its best on tracks like "I'm Walking," a heartfelt tribute to his late friend and fellow musician, Ian Rilen.

Summary by Arlys Souza

Suit Yourself is a strong addition to Clapton's impressive discography, showcasing his continued growth as a musician and songwriter. Fans of his previous work will not be disappointed, and the album is sure to attract new listeners to his unique sound.
