JUSTIN GUARINI "STRANGER THINGS HAVE HAPPENED" MUSIC REVIEW!

Gregorian Music

Justin Guarini has a new album called “Stranger things have happened”. I got the opportunity to get copy of the CD, and I must say that it is a significant change from his R&B, Pop album of 2004. Jazz and Blues seems to be the theme of his new album, with a jazzy introduction to the album “Night and Day”. Justin expresses his love for good music while using live instruments which is incredibly refreshing, and a departure from today’s generic sound. “Stranger things have happened”, reflects the growth in Justin’s vocal ability, as well as his passion for making the music that he wants to make. Songs like “My Funny Valentine” and “Just Squeeze Me” are soothing remakes paying homage to the pioneering artist of the past. While others like “I Love You”, and “Young and Foolish” have a nice blues/jazz combination. I think Justin is one of the few American Idol contestant's who strives to make good music, and not just a hit! “Stranger things have happened” stands on its own, as a timeless jazz album that you can listen to years from now, and still have an appreciation for it. This particular genre he has chosen needs a man like Justin to invite younger audiences to appreciate, and understand that not all good music has to be commercial. Buy His Album Here!
