Music reviews of What a Heart Is Beating for
Music Review: Amusing Part 2 - And That's Not a Good Thing
Rating: 3 Stars
When Chris Rice released his last CD, I was disappointed. But I figured every artist had off projects. Unfortunately, that seems to be his new direction.
Stylistically, Chris has moved from a folk/pop to a jazzy pop feel. While it's not my preference, I could get used to it if the lyrics were still great. Unfortunately, those have fallen off as well.
I don't mind the occasional love song, but I don't normally buy discs that are fairly full of them. While not as prevalent as they were on Amusing, they seem to make up the majority of the tracks again here. I find this rather funny coming from a single guy. His few overtly Christian songs are rather weak. "Tell Me the Story Again" is a meandering piano ballad that doesn't catch my ear at all. "Sneakin' into Heaven" is fun to listen to and has a good message hidden in the bridge, but is just plain weird.
Not this isn't to say that the entire thing is bad. "Here Come Those Eyes," yes, one of the love songs, is a very fun description of love. Chris writes one of his best happy go lucky songs with the opener "So Much for My Sad Song." And "Pardon My Dust" is a great reminder that everyone is a work in progress.
But can someone please tell me why we needed "Lemonade" again? It's exactly the same as it was on Amusing. There are twelve tracks without it. So why throw it on here?
This CD is only slightly better than Amusing. Since I didn't like that one, I'm really not a fan of this one, either. The songs I like are out numbered by the ones that don't work for me. I'll probably preview his next release instead of blindly buying it.
Description of What a Heart Is Beating for
Risk fuels creativity. When an artist steps away from their comfort zone, following their muse into fresh territory, it generally opens up an exciting new direction. Not everyone is willing to take chances, but Chris Rice isn't your conventional artist. That maverick spirit and creative passion courses through every track of Rice's new release What A Heart is Beating For. Well known as an earnest, thoughtful singer/songwriter with a compelling voice and a talent for penning literate, colorful lyrics, Rice s last album found him delving deeper into matters of the heart. What emerged was a surprisingly romantic soul with the ability to write songs that made women sigh and men smile knowingly. If Amusing revealed his ability to tap more broadly into the range of human experience, then What a Heart is Beating For takes that even further.Christian & Gospel CDs
