Editoral Review While most of the songs on Present Future retain the seamless, sophisticated pop sound of Desireless, the words tell quite a different story. Eagle-Eye Cherry has lost some of his cool on his sophomore record, most likely due to a breakup with his longtime live-in girlfriend. Absent are the engaging tales of misspent youth in New York, as well as the radiant paeans to love. "Crashing Down," "Been Here Once Before," and the vengeful, jam-band-inspired "Burning Up" churn up darker emotions centering on overindulgence and betrayal. While this album may mark an end of innocence for Cherry, it is also a creative breakthrough that shows his grittier, more human face. "You know when you've been defeated / You don't care and you thank no one," he sneers on the hard thumping "Are You Still Having Fun?," banishing the pop teddy bear of the first record. He also enlists another sibling (pop diva and sister Titiyo, who guested last time out), as well as '80s sensation Neneh Cherry, who puts her sassy stamp on "Long Way Around" and stays around long enough to steal the show. --Jaan Uhelszki ..
