Burt Bacharach makes more beautiful music with help from masters like Elvis Costello, Rufus Wainwright, Chris Botti and even Dr. Dre on this album. This CD is a pleasure to listen to over and over again; and I highly recommend it for any fan of today's "easy listening" types of pop and rap music.
The CD track set starts with "Please Explain." The rap beat mixed with a more typical Bacharach use of the strings and piano makes a strong musical accompaniment for the vocals by John Pagano, Josie James and Donna Taylor. These singers deliver a great message about how the world needs peace NOW; people need to find reasons to love another rather than hate one another. "Where Did It Go?" is another song that laments the high crime rates and other problems in our cities and more rural places; John Pagano, Josie James and Donna Taylor do a great job on vocals while the keyboards, percussion, saxophone and cello carry the bulk of the melody. "Where Did It Go?" continues to blend together a traditional Burt Bacharach arrangement and a type of rap melody for a uniquely modern, "hip and happenin'" sound. Great!
"Is Love Enough?" ponders if the love between two people can weather the test of changing times and the problems of society; Dr. Dre helps out on drum loop and Jim Cox on keyboards is very good! In addition, "Dreams" is a touching song about how someone will always be there for their beloved no matter what happens. Burt himself plays the piano very well; and Billy Childs is on a wurlitzer. "Dreams," a number Burt Bacharach co-wrote with Chris Botti, sparkles like gold. I predict that you will enjoy "Dreams" very much.
"Danger" is an instrumental number with a heavy rap influence mixed again with Burt's marvelous work on both piano and keyboards. Listen also for Dan Higgins on alto saxophone! "Fade Away" has a stunningly beautiful musical arrangement with Burt on piano and Jim Cox on keyboards. Josie James sings the brief lyrics very nicely.
The liner notes have great artwork; and we get the lyrics and credits for all the tracks on this CD.
Burt Bacharach deserves much credit for this CD. He proves here that he can change with the times as he embraces a more modern type of music that comes off as a blend of rap and soul. When he superimposes his more traditional arrangements onto this canvas, the results are magical.
Bravo, Burt Bacharach!
