Music reviews of La Voce
Music Review: A good voice - will be better with age
Rating: 3 Stars
I'd not heard of Mark Masri before this CD. I heard the 20-second song samples, and thought this guy's great. Bought the CD, and by the time the CD was half over, I was already over it... Like I said, great voice - nice, rich tone... impressive range... very fluid line to the voice. The problem, then? Hmmmm... how can I put this? OK. Here goes: I like steak (OK, I LOVE steak)... but listening to this CD was like being hit over the head with steak, and more steak... Enough already, you know? Yes... I KNOW you can sing high notes, Mark - but every song doesn't have to start softly, then keep getting higher & higher, until you're way, WAY up at the top of your range, singing as loud as you can... It's the feeling you get when someone just starting out has to impress you with every song, by giving every song every single thing they've got... They haven't yet learned to "step back" a bit... There's not a lot of subtlety on this CD - it's more all-out, "American Idol" type singing - lots of vocal riffs/acrobatics, in place of depth.
He starts out great on "The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face" - and then, out of nowhere, the key shifts up (WAY up!), and there he is... singing as high & loud as he can... Too bad, too - the song was beautiful up to that point.
There are definitely some nice tracks on the CD (Tracks #1, 4, 7), but truthfully, by the time Track #8 came around, I was brain-dead... Feel like I need to go find some Peggy Lee recordings now, to simply "chill out"...
Mark Masri is talented, for sure. I hope he continues growing, musically - and learns to trust more in "understating"... If so, I bet 10 years from now, this guy will truly be great.
Description of La Voce
LA VOCEmeans "the voice." One listen to this collection of passionate and heartfelt songs, and it is clear that Canadian vocal sensation, Mark Masri, has been blessed with one of the great voices of our time. His virtuosic instrument soars effortlessly through Italian classics such as CARUSO, BUONGIORNO PRINCIPESSA and LA PRIMA VOLTA. His soulful interpretations of such ballads as TRULY and FIX YOU, which glide over romantic orchestral treatments, create a new benchmark in elegance and sincerity. But beyond the voice of the singer, LA VOCE is also the voice of a gifted writer. Masri's own compositions are finely crafted, personal works. TIME, a stunning duet with acclaimed American singer, Nita Whitaker, is a moving exploration of the fragility of life and the power of love. I OWE YOU is a simple letter of gratitude that could serve as an artful tribute to any mentor in one's life. A SONG CAN CHANGE YOUR LIFE is a compassionate message of hope. Another original, A MOTHER'S LOVE, was composed by EMI recording artist Amy Sky. In 2009, this beautiful collaboration with chart topping American pianist, Jim Brickman, was the soundtrack to a best-selling American Greetings Mother's Day E-card. The song will also be featured in a national Mother's Day campaign in 2010. The initial focus track, HOLD ON, to be released to radio in January 2010, was produced by Los Angeles based recording ace Jochem van der Saag (Josh Groban, Seal, Michael Bublé, Celine Dion). To round out this collection of international, orchestral pop, Masri sings in French (JE T'ATTENDRAI, a reworking of his hit song, THE FACE), Spanish (FRAGILIDAD, a collaboration with Latin superstar, Jon Secada, and Mediterranean guitarist, Pavlo, on Sting's FRAGILE), Hebrew and Arabic (EREV SHEL SHOSHANIM, a duet with Masri's co-producer, Amy Sky). Compulsively listenable, this timeless recording will appeal to fans of all ages. LA VOCE is a desert island disc for music lovers who seek gorgeous melodies and meaningful words, delivered by a breathtaking voice.Broadway & Vocalists CDs
