Although songs such as \u201cThe Invitation\u201d and \u201cWhy I Stay\u201d remind us that we have a darker, deeper core, those moments are few and far between. Thankfully, we\u2019re left with an album of great emotional and spiritual relevance. Fusing piano with some excellent cello and string parts, Los Angeles\u2019 Black Heart Procession mixes its song bag with a little cha-cha (\u201cEnd of Love\u201d) and pseudo-pop rumblings (\u201cDid You Wonder\u201d).\u00a0<em>Amore<\/em>\u00a0explores several genres without losing scope and focus; even such seldom-used instruments as the Optigan and saw make an appearance, however slight. Most acts falter when they attempt to mature and grow, but the Black Heart Procession still remembers that life is full of changes. And, like its music, the group must meet that challenge with open arms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(SN&amp;R)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Live!
