Album Thoughts
The freshman album had a unified tone
throughout which was interesting because even with the slower tempo songs, it
still felt the songs were connected with the following song and so on. I don't
think I've listened to something like this from my respective favorite artists
from their own freshman albums. So that little difference made buying this
album that cost me two arms and a leg (joke) and finding an appropriate courier
to deliver it to me, worthwhile. Although after seeing my credit card bill
afterward, I'd say, Ouch. Lolz.
The album gave me a tip of a
diversified range of music styles to tickle my modest musical palate. I noticed that a soloist can easily have a signature prevailing in their tracks for this first outing, I didn't find it yet. Maybe my ears are not that trained or I
was practically in Cloud 9 every time I listened to this album. Anyway, just by
the tracks, the vocals were varied that added flavor. It wasn't over the place
too. I don't know if for his second and third album, his signature style of
singing has exerted itself.

The Tracks
Next Stop To Happiness An upbeat song
that suggested a person has been striving for all opportunities and finally
it paid off and soon this individual was on the fast lane. This was the first song off the
12-track album.
The Way It Is
A mid-tempo song about love's dying embers and what it would take to keep it.
