Visually, this one-song DVD is terrible. Scattered shots of Steven singing his songs (out of synch) in what looks to be an old person's home; sat on an armchair surrounded by flowers; at a pulpit with a dwindled congregation and in various states of worship. Musically, the song "Only You" is rather good. It's chilled out gospel. Simple synth riffs, some nice backing vocals and Steven's perfectly competent voice. I looked up Monsieur Cummings' original review of the CD and thought the complete album might be worth investigating. He gave it eight out of 10 and noted that Perilloux has a "musical subgenre seldom approached by gospel musicians: slinky, 3.00 am style jazz soul." Unfortunately, this DVD was a big mistake.
