All 14 songs on In
This Life have been co-written by Paul, drawing in fellow songwriters
like RON SINCLAIR, GINA JEFFREYS, MATT SCULLION, SARA STORER,
DAMIAN PORTARO, NOEL COSTA, and most notably ROD McCORMACK.
Certainly the most important collaborator in the
project was Rod McCormack - the producer of Paul's two previous
albums - with Rod's songwriting contributing to 10 of the cuts.
Paul's new walk down the road of life is
uplifting - when he talks about the title track and goals, dreams
and a better future, there's an overwhelmingly positive attitude
that permeates the songs throughout In This Life.
Perfect examples that jump out immediately are the long term
optimism of No Turning Back, the lyrically enthralling Half
The Man, and the life-changing Hello Smile.
Of course life isn't always a bed of roses, and
Paul certainly shares the odd heartache and regret, like Man
Overboard and Real World, but it's with no malice and a feeling
of "lesson learned".
Paul Costa is a reflective man. His superb Survivor
1932 harks back to days of hardship, pulling together and shaping
a nation - and the message is eerily relevant in these current
times.
There are plenty of good country kickers here
as well - the tongue-in-cheek swing masterpiece How'd I Fall
For That, the two-stepping Real World and the party feel of
Big Time In A Small Town.
In This Life is a pivotal album for Paul - insightful,
personal and driven by exemplary production from Rod McCormack
and a studio roster of Australia's finest musicians.
Paul Costa is a package for the future - he's
got the looks, the voice and the attitude - but most importantly
he's got the music.
In This Life for this talented young man doesn't
have a "use by" date on the package.
