Music reviews of On My Way Here
Music Review: On Clay's Way Here...
Rating: 4 Stars
One of the things that a listener will notice right away when they buy this CD is the magnitude of experimental arrangements on several of the songs and how many mid-tempo songs there are. "On My Way Here", the lead-off song and title track, sounds to me that it will be another of Clay's signature songs for his audience with it's lyrics resembling pretty much his career and life to this point. There is a line in that song, "my address has changed; almost every year", which makes me think of an artist on the go and never in one place for very long. The overall flow of the album might come as a surprise or it might not, depending on how much of a Clay Aiken fan you are before buying. "Ashes", the second song for example, is a good vocal work out that in my mind is tailor made for Clay. If this CD hadn't have even been released i could imagine Clay singing those two songs in concert. "Everything I Don't Need" has an R&B sing-a-long melody to it as does "Ashes". Again, several of these songs are written as if the writers intentionally sought Clay to perform them and maybe they had? I will be perhaps one of the first to make the comment that i had never heard of Kipper or anyone else associated with the CD, except for Clay, so during the CD's early planning stages when news would leak out about the album's producer and the songwriters featured on it, i was never caught up in it because i had never heard of a lot of these people because i've not paid attention to pop music's behind the scenes people. Listening to this CD, one has to wait until track number four before you hear the quintessential ballad, "Something About Us". This isn't the only love ballad on here, though, but it's a surprise that the first three songs are mid-tempo given his reputation for being a ballad singer. "Falling", meanwhile, features one of those experimental arrangements in which the use of robotics is applied. I don't know what else to call it...robotics...electronics? Whatever it's called, "Falling" features several lines sung by Clay in an altered voice which has become something of a pattern with many rock acts. The centerfold of the fold-out cover features a near silhouette of Clay with a city behind him. I don't know the details of the city concept but on this CD and his last one, a city landscape was featured. A lot of the songs are power ballads, which is Clay's stock in trade in my opinion...the kind of song where it starts out slowly and then builds up to a fever pitch. "Where I Draw the Line" comes across as a song that listeners/fans can hear and think of Clay's personal life as to why he's not taken yet. That song, specifically, is the song that will be considered a show stopper if sung in concert...it has it all...the big arrangements and the belt-out vocals. Then, he brings the tempo back down with "The Real Me". I like this CD and give it 4 stars and that's just because the CD is long and if one is going to really enjoy the CD they have to have the time to listen to it all the way through and not pick and choose songs from it at random. I enjoy the CD when i listen to it and there is one song in particular that jumps out at me more than the others...it's "Grace of God". It's just a bouncy song...there's not much bouncy material on a Clay Aiken CD for whatever reason, there's usually power ballads and love ballads, no bouncy songs. This CD will be a big seller for Clay as his previous releases have been. Clay's known fondness for 1980's pop/rock is eveident on this CD on some selections like "Weight of the World" with the electric guitar solo's and then there's "As Long As We're Here", track number nine. The song starts out slow and a listener sits on their seats expecting the jolt to hit them and finally it happens when he starts into the second verse. The only song on here that is of a previous release is "Lover All Alone" which had originally been only available as a digital download but now it's showcased on this CD. This CD is soft rock/Adult Contemporary and so if that's up your alley, then this CD is worth a listen.
