Music reviews of Facing FutureMusic Review: amazing Hawaiian easy listening albumThis is easy listening Hawaiian-style, but IK is a class act: am amazing singer, wonderful songs plus the rich cultural experience of hearing the Hawaiian language and lyrics about the Hawaiian experience. The opening song transcends the rest of the album and is in a class by itself, or actually, with a select few other intimate pop songs that involve speaking as well as singing: Van Morrison's "Coney Island" comes to mind on [[ASIN:B0010DJ1II Avalon Sunset]. It's a unique and beautiful song that can really be considered high art in the same way that the Beatles achieved high art with experimental pop songs like "Strawberry Fields." OK, IK is not the Beatles, but he has that same spirit of greatness and no one else can sing like him. The overall mood of this album is contentment and celebration with some sadness thrown in, with the opening song. His remake of "Country Road" by John Denver actually works and the rewritten lyrics that describe Hawaii instead of West Virginia flow perfectly. In short, this is a terrific album and if you like "easy listening" you shouldn't miss it!
