Review
"Look At Us" by Sonny & Cher is such a gem from the swinging '60s! This golden debut album, produced by the talented Sonny Bono himself, shot up to number two on the Billboard 200 chart. It's packed with a delightful mix of pop rock, folk-rock, and contemporary pop that'll have you tapping your toes and humming along in no time.
The chemistry between Sonny and Cher is simply electric, and you can hear it in every track. Their harmonies are so sweet, they'll make your heart melt! The album features some fantastic original tunes penned by Sonny, like the iconic "I Got You Babe," as well as some groovy covers of popular songs like "Unchained Melody" and "Then He Kissed Me." I love how they managed to put their own unique spin on these classics!
What really stands out to me is the crisp, clear production that was so characteristic of the era. The arrangements by Harold Battiste Jr. add a touch of sophistication that elevates the whole album. It's like a time capsule of the optimism and innocence of the mid-'60s, and listening to it always puts a smile on my face. This album truly set the stage for Sonny & Cher's incredible career, and it's easy to see why it's still considered a classic today! - Ava
