Right The Stars is more than a band, it's a community in the best sense: a constellation of writers, musicians and producers all gathered into a powerful vision by multifaceted singer/songwriter/producer Rich Jacques. At a time when almost anyone can make a record, creating one that stands apart from the competent crowd is the challenge. Yet that's exactly what Jacques has done. By inviting a talented array of LA artists to collaborate, contribute and push him to the limits, he's created a uniquely anthemic and atmospheric sound for "The Only Thing" that could only be Right The Stars. -- -- Despite the new school, almost hip-hop approach to collaboration, The Only Thing is a surprisingly old school, cohesive album. Yeah it opens up with a punch you in the gut single, a title track that argues for the power of love with honey hook melodies soaring over propulsive tribal rhythms. And yeah, it doesn't back off, with This Is Our Time creating a pulsing, contagious, unifying call to exultation: "we can take the saddest songs, sing them at the top of our lungs." But then as the collection evolves from the Depeche inflected dark distorted bass of Letter To God to the Bowie meets Moby meets Moroder apocalyptic seduction of Kiss You Like The End Of The World, it becomes increasingly apparent that Jacques is after more than just singles.
