About this album
Poetic Champions Compose is one of Van Morrison’s most graceful late-’80s albums, balancing jazz-inflected arrangements with blues, soul and reflective songwriting. Released in 1987, it shows Morrison in a restrained, searching mood, with ‘Someone Like You’ becoming the standout song and a lasting favourite from his catalogue. The album’s elegant flow and unforced melodies give it a quieter power than his more rousing classics, yet it remains recognisably Morrison: spiritually restless, musically fluent and emotionally direct. For listeners drawn to his later work, it is a strong example of how he kept refining his blend of rock, jazz and devotional feeling.
