Fabulous debut CD
Justin really displays the range of his abilities on this debut CD. "Sorry" and "Be a Heartbreaker" have an urban hip-hop feel that many may not expect from Justin. He brings in an R&B vibe with the sensual "I Saw Your Face" and even a bit of a latin flavor in "One Heart Too Many".
He also shows he can handle a classic love ballad in "How Will You Know" and a beautiful rendition of "Unchained Melody". While "Unchained" has certainly been covered to death, I find myself listening to this one over and over again. Justin brings an incredible emotion and longing to the melancholy "Condition of My Heart" which is one of my favorites. The power ballad "Timeless" with Kelly Clarkson is nothing less than phenomenal.
Another favorite of mine is "If You Wanna" which is hard to classify, but reminds me of a Janet Jackson style song when she was in her heyday. Finally, I dare you to sit still listening to the Pop beat of "Inner Child" which is just plain fun!
While there is a range of styles on this CD it all flows together into one wonderful musical experience. Very impressive debut album!
This was a FABULOUS album!! (All it needed was promotion)
If anybody out there has doubts about Justin Guarini's vocal talents, they'll be silenced after listing to "Condition of My Heart" for the first time. DAMN!! That is one POWERFUL voice!! One could also say the same thing after listening to "Thinking Of You", "I Saw Your Face", "How Will You Know" ... it just never ends!! Two songs that stands out, though, is his interesting rendition of "Get Here" (the popular song that Oleta Adams made famous) and his phenomenal duet, "Timeless", that he did with Kelly Clarkson. It's too bad this album never got promoted the way that it should've been. Who knows how many copies would've been sold if it had been given a fair shot? Sadly, it wasn't, and barely anybody heard about it. In any case, I felt I got my money's worth when I purchased my copy. I listen to it all the time. It never gets boring. Great music never does.
Wonderful CD!
I am impressed. I was so afraid Justin's cd would have the AI sound to it but no such thing. The songs on this album, with very few exceptions, have a consistent, soulful, R&B feel. You can really see the direction that Justin wants to go. I Saw Your Face, Sorry, Be a Heartbreaker, Condition of My Heart, Doing Things, have strong R&B vibes. The Latin feel of One Heart Too Many was an unexpected pleasant surpise. How Will You Know will make you swoon ladies. Unchained melody tends to break the flow but he does a beautiful job vocally. Some funky dance tunes add variety. All and all a good first effor from Justin.
