This Left Feels Right

This Left Feels Right is a very strongly conceptual album on which Bon Jovi boldly reinterprets its many signature songs. Unlike a mere greatest-hits set, it re-records the well-known classics with a wholly different approach — acoustic arrangements, changed tempos and keys, and more. While centered on those highly popular choruses, it is a work that lets you carefully confirm a new side of Bon Jovi’s songs. Rather than being caught by the flashy original versions alone, following how the sonic center is placed, how the choruses are layered and the new flow between songs, an appeal of the songs not noticed before comes clearly into view. The way familiar anthems show a more intimate, settled face will be a truly fresh experience for fans. Jon Bon Jovi’s mature voice supports the reinterpretation. While taking in the era’s change, the sure feel at the band’s core is not lost in the least. An artist’s aesthetic strongly appears precisely in the method of how it reconstructs and reinterprets hits. By comparing with the original versions, it is an intriguing project work that lets you confirm the depth of Bon Jovi’s songwriting in three dimensions.
