 Review | Reload by Tom Jones
In 1988, pop conceptualists The Art of Noise and high-energy crooner Tom Jones collaborated on a cover of Prince's "Kiss." The single, a smash hit, turned The Art of Noise into pop celebrities and gave Tom Jones a kitsch-but-hip cachet no one (except, obviously, the perspicacious The Art of Noise) had yet imagined.
Although the album features several of the standards and oldies often found on cover albums (though they rarely sound this fresh and exciting), Jones' daring and eclectic selection also includes songs by the likes of Portishead, INXS, Fine Young Cannibals and Iggy Pop.
Reload celebrates Jones' love of the pop song in all its incarnations -- from jazz and soul to rock and triphop -- by showcasing compositions from each of the last six decades (and one traditional).

Not only does Jones deliver one of the more invigorating workings of modern pop here, his selection of material and choice of mates prove that in addition to his routinely extraordinary performances, he's still recording quite potently, thank you.
Jones launches the disc with Talking Heads' "Burning Down the House," working it brisk and funky with the Cardigans and lending David Byrne's opaque lyrics a fresh vigor.
Jones is in the uncomfortable position of being a retro novelty, and although he may not ignite the U.S. charts anymore (his last notable effort here was his great collaboration with the Art of Noise on the Prince tune "Kiss," in 1988), his music is as contemporary and driving as ever.

 BBC News | Entertainment | CD Review: Tom Jones
Tom may have been dodging flying knickers for four decades now, but you would never know it listening to the voice - a torrent of pure sound which has lost none of its power and fluidity with the passing years.
Yet if Reload generally manages to bridge the generation gap and reinvent Jones as a cutting edge pop icon, there remains the occasional garish flicker in the voice to remind us of the other Tom Jones - equally at home in the casinos of Las Vegas.
Elsewhere Tom gets to flirt outrageously with Cerys on Baby It's Cold Outside, retire to the lounge with the Divine Comedy for a version of Portishead's All Mine, and perform with the cream of Bristol themselves on epic closing track Motherless Child.

Almost four decades later both Jones and his audience are no less fervent as Wales' second-most famous export runs through his extensive and varied songbook, still imbuing his old chestnuts like "What's New Pussycat?" and "Delilah" with a sense of naughty fun and irony.
