Music reviews of Wearing Someone Elses Clothes
Music Review: Jason Robert Brown in his element
Rating: 5 Stars
In this offering Mr. Robert Brown has given us a piece of his amazing self. More than in any of his previous works do we see Jason the man expressed through his music. For fans of this superb composer, this album is a pleasure of pure, emotionally stimulating music. Spanning a wide mix of styles including Country, Bluegrass, Musical Theatre (of course), Gospel, and even a bit of eighties electric guitar thrown in, the audience is treated to the brilliant and varied skill of Broadway's greatest hope (if it can ever stop trying so damn hard to make money). As a singer, Mr. Robert Brown has a different sound than the well-trained Broadway stars many of us are used to, but it is a clear, passionate, tender, and always fiercely invested voice. This album would be ambitious for any singer with so many different styles of singing incorporated, but Jason handles his Gospel trills as solidly as he does his amazing piano skills. We are even treated to some excellent scatting in "I'm in Bizness," which was actually recorded live at a recent concert that he did. Indeed, the avid fan of Jason Robert Brown's music will recognize many of these songs from previous live performances, etc. A couple of songs on the album deserve special attention. The title song seems like a jam session for "The Caucasion Rhythm Kings," with an all out fun number that reminds one of a lazy Saturday afternoon. The song is about falling in love and growing comfortable with someone you love, a new role for the thoroughbred in any young
male. Actually, the higher pitched male background vocals and slightly bouyant feel to the song puts the author in mind of Adam Guettel (who recently won a very well-deserved Tony for his latest musical "The Light in the Piazza"), specifically his musical "Myths and Hymns." Mr. Robert Brown will surely forgive the comparison as he has been an open admirer of Adam Guettel for several years now. The song features some beautiful, intense, slightly dissonant harmonies and several extremely clever lyrics ("You said I don't have to be the king of idiosyncrasy). Other notables include "I Could Be in Love With Someone Like You" and "Music of Heaven." For all the fans of "The Last Five Years," the former is especially exciting. This song was actually in the original production of the show in Illinois; it featured Norbert Leo Butz and Lauren Kennedy, (who has recently put out her own solo album featuring music all written by Jason. She has a wonderful, beautiful voice and has often been described, along with Mr. Butz, as the ultimate avatars of Jason Robert Brown's music). The song was later cut and replaced by the popular "Shiksa Goddess" for personal and legal reasons. It is even more fun and...blithe than its replacement, with an extremely similar direction of melody. It successfully conveys the excitement of falling in love (with an Irish girl :-)). "Music of Heaven," on the other hand, is simply beautiful; it is a song to lose yourself in and is one Mr. Robert Brown thinks of as one of his best, according to a recent interview. It is deeply spiritual and moving to anyone who loves the art in music.
Upon first listening to this album, my first thought was...this is Jason, in the form of music. What an amazing person that man must be. The music of Jason Robert has evolved into a new, more mature, developed, and stylized character that is at once beautifully melodic and intelligently challenging to the mind. Jason Robert Brown has been my favorite composer of any kind of music for a number of years now; this album securely places him not only in the vanguard of Broadway's "new generation" of composers, but of those individual artists who are masters of their craft.
