His latest album, ‘From Out Of Nowhere’, was warmly received by critics. The Guardian awarded the fourteenth album four out of five stars. They said: “Like its predecessor, Alone In The Universe, this album is entirely good-natured, firmly in the lineage of classic ELO, without ever quite hitting the heights of the past.”

Loudersound further acclaimed the 72-year old’s latest work with a four-star review of their own.

It reads: “Some might decry these songs’ easy-going nature, but for millions this will serve as affirmation, reassurance that some things in life never change – and why would you want them to?”

It goes on to say: “Why mess with a blueprint when the blueprint resonates so strongly?”
