I will start by saying I have had no previous expereince with Yanni's music, I've always known him as some new Age instrumental guy, but never really followed him. So, this CD was really a happy surprise. I liked knowing that the artists were asked to write their own lyrics to Yanni's instrumentals, a nice collaberative effort. Right off, the first track Omaggio grabbed my attention because it was so uplifting. Nathan Pacheco's voice really blends well with the instrumentals. I also liked the 2nd track with Leslie Mills, The Keeper. It's really upbeat and snappy and kept my attention. I found Chloe's song Set Me Free to be a nice ballad that was both relaxing and a bit haunting. It is definitely on of the more contemporary songs on the CD. While I love Ender Thomas' voice, I was sad that both of his songs were sung in Spanish. I would have like to hear him sing something more contemporary in English. All in all the Cd is a nice, relaxed listen that I would enjoy in an adult setting, like at a casual dinner party or as background music in a nice restaurant. There was a point halfway through when I thought the songs kind of started to sound the same, but I will definitely keep this CD around for moments when I need to bring the stress level down.
What's great about it: Relaxing, interesting instrumentals
What's not so great: Songs start to sound the same after awhile
I would recommend this to a friend!

Ballas Hough A Great Listen for the Tween Set

I listened to the CD one day while I was sitting in the school parking lot waiting to pick up my kids. I liked the first song well enough, it was upbeat and the guys can definitely sing. Did you know that the two lead singers are best friends who also happen to be two of the leading dancers on Dancing with the Stars? Anywhoo...
I liked the 2nd track, Devastated. It has a nice beat and probably one of the edgier sounds on the CD. Great intrumental backup on that track.
I think the group definitely has potential and this is a solid effort for their debut CD. I can see them becoming kind of a Maroon 5 kind of group, once their sound and lyrics mature a bit. While I like their music, I couldn't listen to it everyday, but my 7 and 9 year old boys like it and my 13 year old niece LOVES it. Big red puffy heart loves it! Given her reaction, I would say these guys will give jonas Brothers a run for their money.
So, overall a decent effort for the new guys on the block, but probably better suited for the Tween set.
What's great about it: Upbeat, Easy to Understand Lyrics, Nothing Offensive
What's not so great: Not as Edgy as it could be,
I would recommend this to a friend!
