Album Notes & Community Reviews

As the vocalist continued to refine his mastery of the microphone, this collection relied heavily on lush, deeply romantic orchestrations to highlight his emotive phrasing. The arrangements perfectly frame his ability to inhabit the lyrical narrative of classic ballads. The project encapsulates the defining characteristics of his highly successful Columbia-era crooning.
