This man simply knows how to write fine popsongs.  Namely such that are not abounding with triviality but are utterly full of meaning even in lyrics about relationships - so much the more if he surveys significant social topics. But Gilbert O'Sullivan also offers witty ideas, irony and play upon words. i.e. ["The Allergy Song", "Where Would We Be (Without Tea)"]  He is musically gifted to write sensitive (not sentimental) ballads, as well as uptempo, even almost rocking songs and strikes up an authentic tune in a New Orleans jazzy style as a reference to his idol Fats Domino.  According to his enormous variety of styles within the pop genre, O'Sullivan deserves a successful comeback with his new album GILBERTVILLE.  Take the opportunity!
