Acclaimed Australian singer-songwriter Robert Forster announces his 8th solo album 'The Candle And The Flame' to be released on Friday 3rd February 2023. It's an album for Forster that has taken a very different path in creating than his previous works. The first single is titled 'She's A Fighter'. It reveals only part of what became a journey of creating music with family and friends with a need to find joy and solace in the face of adversity.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Robert Forster's achtes und sicherlich bestes Soloalbum
    Reviewed in Germany on August 7, 2024
    So wunderschön das Booklet mit Texten und Musikerangaben ist, so wunderschön auch die Musik. Forster verwendet neue Akkordfolgen für seine ruhigen und up-tempo Songs. Wie schon auf "Songs to Play" wunderbare Background - Vocals von seiner Frau. Songs über alte Zeite, Liebe, Reisen und auch Drogen . .. Melodien mit schönen Reimen, Robert Forster scheint es in Australien gut zu gehen. - Ich werde jetzt erstmal "Always" und "I don't do drugs I do time" auf meinen mp3 spielen.

    4.0 out of 5 stars so normal, so gut
    Reviewed in Germany on August 6, 2024
    Diese weitere Soloplatte des Ex-G Betweens bietet genau das, was alle anderen geboten haben: gute Songs mit sparsamen Arrangements und lässig gesungen. Nicht die HIghlights der frühen Platten und natürlich nicht den Drive der Go-Betweens, einer der absolus besten 80 er Bands. Aber das ist völlig in Ordnung. Das ist einfach eine weitere gute Platte eines Mannes, der nichts mehr beweisen muss (und aus LIebe zu seiner Frau die schönsten Lieder hier singt).

    3.0 out of 5 stars Difficult to say...
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on September 28, 2023
    Very reflective and somewhat sad. This almost has the sound of a final album as if a slight breeze would blow out his flame. Done in single takes? These songs are like demos, quite rough vocals at times (When I was a young man) , seemingly half-finished, strange awkward lines that sometimes don't quite gel, slightly misplaced backing vocals, a few songs that you feel a band (obviously the Go-Betweens) would have knocked into something really special (Always) sometimes begging for a producer. But this is all deliberate, isn't it?
