Music reviews of I Am

Music Review: Tolcher is a hit
Rating: 5 Stars

For all Gavin DeGraw fans and all music fans: Michael Tolcher tours with him for a reason! His debut cd "I Am" rivals that of Gavin and Jason Mraz or anyone else. There's an eclectic sense of style in his music and there is something for everyone. The CD is another one that does not have any skippable songs; it's good music from track 1 to the end (not to mention that he also wrote each song). To help you, here's a review on each individual song:

1)Mission Responsible: The first single, the album cut is different than the cut you may have heard on his cd sampler. It does not have the rap at the end, but the track is still good nevertheless. Nice message.

2)Sooner or Later: This is a great song to sing along to.

3)No One Above: Also different than the cd sampler version, this song is groovy with lots of jazz instruments and smooth vocals. Obviously one of the best songs with a great hook.

4)Sun Song: This is a nice, strong ballad that shows his range more than most songs, particularly at the end. Tolcher doesn't sing in a high range voice but experiments on this song dedicated to...the sun.

5)Bad Habits: I believe Gavin DeGraw is the guest pianist on this song. An early favorite, the lyrics are nice. This could be a tear-jerker; amazing song.

6)This Is What I Meant By That: Not the strongest song in my opinion, the typical track that you throw in the middle of an album.

7)I Am: The title track has nice music to it. I can see why he chose this song as the title track and her performs it well on stage also. This song has meaning behind it.

8)Taxi Ride Kinda Night: One of my early favorites, "Taxi Ride" is a short, playful song. He sets the mood with the intro which sounds as if he and his band are just playing around in a garage and come out with this up-tempo sing-a-along song.

9)Kiss and Tell: The absolute best song on the album. It has an old-school kind of feel to it with the musical instruments used. He experiments with harmonies but the main vocals overshadow the harmonies. You can sing this song all day long, nice and uptempo. Dedicate this to any girl, she'll love it.

10)Miracle: It seems as if Tolcher put the absolute best songs at the end of the album. Miracle catches onto you quickly and the first verse sounds like something that I can't put my hand onto. Something old. This song also has a message: keep the faith. Great track.

11)Kings in Castles: This song is one of the most pop sounding on the album. Almost cheesy but not quite. Like I said, he put the best tracks, minus No One Above, at the end of the album.

12)Waiting: Another one of the few actual slow tempo type songs. It's not a ballad but slower than most of the album. You'll listen to this one over and over again.

"I Am" would be a Grammy nominee if it were up to the hype of pop star musicians. Each track is great, I listen to this just as much as Gavin's "Chariot". The songs get stronger as the cd progresses. Worth more than whatever you will pay to buy this used. I bought it the day it came out in the store and not complaining a bit.
