Music reviews of Fight for Love
Music Review: and to think he's still just getting started--but watch where you buy this to get the bonus tracks you want
Rating: 5 Stars
Elliott Yamin's rise to stardom continues to take him even higher with the release of this incredible album. He delves deep into each number to create a passionate set of songs that would touch the heart of any living being. This album was not only worth the wait; it establishes him as someone who's still going places fast with his excellent writing and vocal prowess. Elliott takes each song and works it into a stunner; there's not a dud in the bunch. His voice is strong yet he is able to convey all the emotions of each word he ever sings; I'm very impressed. This guy's a winner! Watch where you buy this, however--different vendors offer different bonus tracks for this album; and I don't believe that the same bonus tracks are available on more than one website.
The album starts with "Let Love Be;" Elliott sings this out with a lot of energy and it makes a fine beginning track for this album. The beat is great and Elliott never lets go of a superfluous note! The musical arrangement enhances the quality of this opener, too. In addition, I also like ""Know Better;" Elliott remains squarely front and center--right where he belongs! "Know Better" is great music--and besides, since when did Elliott ever sound better? "Know Better" is powerful stuff.
The title track, "Fight For Love," has an excellent beat and the percussion really works well in the musical arrangement. Elliott handles complex tempo and key changes like a pro. "You" has Elliott in the spotlight as he laments his unrequited love; and "Can't Keep Loving You (From A Distance)" is absolutely perfect--this one's all THAT good.
"Don't Be Afraid" has Elliott singing to a woman he loves that she should take a chance and let herself fall in love with him; and this poignant ballad works well on many levels. The music perfectly complements Elliott's vocals; and that's pretty special. "You Say" is quite a strong tune; and listen for "Apart From Me." "Apart From Me" has a somewhat slower tempo with an awesome beat and Elliott's excellent diction enhances his performance all the more. "Apart From Me" is clearly a major highlight of this album.
"Cold Heart" has a melody that's infectiously catchy even though not all of these lyrics are exactly the happiest; I think "Cold Heart" is another great highlight of this CD and you're bound to enjoy this tune if you like Elliott's artistry. There's also "How Do I Know" which has Elliott singing another moving ballad and he never falters--that's exceptional. I love it!
"This Step Alone" has a fine musical arrangement and Elliott sings this without letting go of a single superfluous note; what a voice! The album ends strong with Elliott Yamin performing "Someday." "Someday" has beautiful key changes to enhance the melody and it leaves me wanting more. As I mentioned above, more is actually what you can have--depending on where you get this CD. The Amazon edition should give you a bonus track entitled "I Believe."
Fight for Love is another terrific CD from Elliott Yamin. I highly recommend this album for Elliott's fans; and it also makes a fine starter CD for people just discovering the artistry of Elliott Yamin.
