Savior is a strong, slow ballad that like, Lights Out, you come to appreciate more and more after repeated listenings. This is a song we can all relate to on a personal level. There is a plaintive exploration of the weakness of the human spirit and our need for help: "Savior, once again you have betrayed me" This is a song about the imperfection of all people - a song about the duality of friendship, about being saved and being betrayed: Lisa's voice is pronounced as the backing instrumentation is more subdued for the ballad format. Overall, Lights Out is a very good choice as an airplay single. However the final single release exudes a nice balance between vocal and instrumentation. On the latter Lisa's voice was overshadowed by the backing instrumentation. The single release is an improvement on the 1 track promo CD released a few months ago.

It has a very contemporary feel that will appeal to a wide cross-section of the (younger) rock music buying public, while it is infectious enough that Elvis fans should also find it appealing. Lights Out, with its infectious beat and interesting lyrics should garner considerable airplay on rock music radio stations. The two tracks 'Lights Out' and 'Savior' complement each other beautifully. This is a strong debut for Lisa Marie Presley. It will also have overseas collectors clamoring for copies of the Australian single. While this will disappoint some people the positive thing is the second track on the single is Savor, a track not on Lisa's upcoming album nor on the four track single released overseas. Unlike in overseas markets, Australia is receiving only a two track release, not the originally expected four track compilation. On Monday 7 April, Lisa Marie Presley's debut single (EMI 108-2-1) will be released in Australia. Elvis' Family History › Gladys and Vernon › Elvis › Lisa Marie › Riley Keogh › Benjamin Keogh ›
