Music reviews of What I Meant to Say

Music Review: This is what Donny meant to say...
Rating: 4 Stars

What I Meant To Say is the 54th release of Donny Osmond's career. And it's his most personal to date. Only two songs on the disc were not written or co written by him; the Richard Marx hit "Right Here Waiting" which he covers quite aptly here, and the Burt Bacharach standard "This Guy's In Love With You" which you can just picture being sung in a smoky lounge somewhere.

Working with Gary Barlow (Take That), Eliot Kennedy and others, Donny has formed a CD with an accessible, pleasant mix of up tempo pop and smooth ballads.Put aside any pre concieved notions you have of Donny Osmond and just give the music a chance. You'll be pleasantly suprised, I think.

What I Meant To Say is the opener. It's about wanting to say all these things that have been in your heart the entire time but never did, missing the chance. Cliche all of that is, yes, but this is wonderfully delivered.

Breeze On By is the first single, and has been added to Smooth Jazz stations across the country. It's riff comes from the George Benson classic "Breezin'" and coasts along on a sunny, feel-good groove.

Keep Her In Mind is another ballad, and I think, the strongest one here. Just goosebump raising.

One Dream was written with Jim Brickman and Beth Nielsen Chapman for the 2002 Olympic Games in Salt Lake City. Not my favorite on here at all. Probably the only track I skip.

In It For Love is more upbeat, and danceable. Never fails to get the crowds jumping when he does this one during the current tour!

My Perfect Rhyme was written for his wife, Debbie. It has a beautiful, heartfelt sentiment.

Shoulda Known Better is another one of those rockin' danceable tracks here. Love this one!!

Whenever You're In Trouble was written for his children and his pure love for them shines through unmistakably here.

Insecurity, even with it's "rap" thrown in took me some getting used to for some reason. But it's grown on me and I love it.

Broken Man is my absolute favorite of the ballads, and just gorgeous.

As a fan of 30+ years, I can say it's good to have Donny doing music that is truly his, and came from his own heart.

Description of What I Meant to Say

What I Meant to Say continues 1970s superstar Donny Osmond's comeback, which began more or less with his role in the revival of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat. The title tune ably demonstrates Osmond's ease with his long-patented brand of pop. The CD also includes the single "Breeze on By," a carefree summery number. Sharing song writing credits with Bobby Womack and Gary Barlow, the tune demonstrates the MOR pop polish of the album to perfection. Ensuring there are plenty of cuts for future singles, the album features a very relaxed new version of the Bacharach/David classic "This Guy's In Love With You," which Osmond originally recorded in the 1970s. Those of a certain age will go weak at the knees recapturing their teenage years swooning over Donny, while the still good-looking Mr. Osmond may well capture an entirely new generation of young hearts with this perfectly produced pop collection. --Gary Dalkin
