Among songs like Big Girls Don't Cry"" and ""Umbrella,"" Ben Harper and the Innocent Criminals' new album, Lifeline, is a breath of fresh air. Its inspiring lyrics and raspy vocals may not ensure No. 1 hits, but this album is definitely worth listening to.
Although the CD is classified as rock, it sounds more like slow R&B and less pop than his previous albums. Since he doesn't use a hook or special instruments to catch the listeners' interest, the songs on Lifeline aren't as striking as most hit songs, but are much more listenable in the long run.
