World Debut Album, "Listen With Your Heart"

Sound Track 4 (4:47)      samples >> | LOW FI | HI FI |

"I Got Wings" Aspirations toward pop/smooth jazz with percussion sounds, long held string notes and rock rhythms. Introduction of unison vocals picks up the mood, vocal line includes a nursery rhyme allusion (Star light, star bright), with George Benson influenced guitar sounds, wonderful Harmon muted trumpet (?) solo, harmon mute gives it a more metallic sound. Good use of unison vocals in call and response pattern with lead voice.

"I Believe In Love" – pop love song formatted for lite radio. Perhaps modeled on Bonnie Raitt's "I Can't Make You Love Me," dreamy mood, builds to a fitting climax as unison vocals, flugelhorn and lead singer intertwine in sentiment. Note transitional wordless vocals, brief, but effective. Flugelhorn sound, high range with softer attack, rounded edges to the notes, makes for an appropriate blend with the singer.

"Listen With Your Heart" – Longing, first person,, autobiographical artist ballad, with Samuel Barber's "Adagio For Strings" in mind with the orchestra, guitar synthesizer coloring the sound and the fretless electric bass reminiscent of Jaco Pastorious in the band Weather Report.
