Music reviews of A World Within A World
Music Review: What a State of Mind
Rating: 4 Stars
I first heard State of Mind (Midon's first CD in a Borders. I was instantly blown away. The parallels to Stevie Wonder were clear and the guitar work with hints of the best of Richie Havens (anyone old enough to remember?) The eloquence and artistry of the melodies, lyrics, and musicianship are remarkable, particularly for a first album. The last artist I heard with an opening CD on this level was Lizz Wright, with her remarkable first album Salt. But like Lizz, Raul does not have the same artistry and emotion and maturity in the second album. Both are remarkable talents but both have second albums that are a bit of a letdown compared to their first offerings. Both Lizz and Raul are remarkalble at delivering ballads with blues and Jazz exuding. Unfortunately in Lizz Wright's case, the second album, which was still wonderful, but not up to the fresh excitement of the first, and it appears that her career is a little less on the rise than we would have expected after Salt. I just hope that the same will not happen with Raul Midon. From all the appearances he has made on TV and festivals this seels unlikely. But I for one was a little disappointed in the second album which seems quite a bit less interesting, artistic, and fresh than his first. If you do not already have State of Mind, get it. If you love that CD you will also like the new CD. But I expect to listen a lot more to the first CD. Hope the next CD from Raul returns to the style of State of Mind.
Description of A World Within A World
Raul Midon brings a vibrant sound steeped in classic soul to the pop arena, because pop is where a singer and a song can have the biggest and most widespread impact. When an envelope-pushing song becomes a pop hit, it shifts the entire musical landscape, forcing out the shopworn and clichéd while opening the windows of change to let in fresh ideas. The notion of shifting the landscape is this artist's passion; the wide-ranging skill sets he brings to bear on his mission provide him with the tools to pull it off.Jazz CDs
