	Though advance press for his 2000 release, In The Light, promised a new direction for the former Whitesnake ringleader, the first single, �Slave,� is actually business as usual for David Coverdale. Following the pattern of the classic �Slow �n Easy,� �Slave� begins with a swampy, ultra blooozy intro that explodes into a screaming chorus, in this case, �I wanna be your / I wanna be your / I wanna be your SLAAAAVE!!!.� Ridiculous? Sure, but no more so than any other Whitesnake lyric -- or for that matter, any blues lyric going back to Robert Johnson. If there�s a problem with this song, it�s that -- like most of Coverdale�s music -- it�s simply nothing special. �Slave� is a generic power ballad that wouldn�t have been out of place in �87, and won�t offend hard rock fans in 2000. A pity that his �90s sabbatical -- a time when Coverdale could have rejuvenated and expanded his sound -- never delivered this excellent journeyman vocalist from the middle of the road.
