Free Music Notes for On My Way Here
Free Music Review: Should Have Been Clay's Sophmore CD!
Hit: 5 Stars
I have supported Clay since his days on American Idol and I love almost all his work. The only thing I didn't care for from him was his sophmore CD, A Thousand Different Ways. I have to say that this new CD is a complete 360 degree change from that. On My Way Here not only has songs that are original, upbeat, and radio-friendly, but also amazing lyrics. The lyrics in every song tell a story and they truly make the cd what it is - a journey through Clay's life. Not only does Clay relate to these songs, but you will too. There is a song for everyone, no matter what your situation is!
Being a younger Clay fan, it was really nice to have the faster, upbeat songs. I wouldn't say they are necessarily rock-esque, but they are similar to the type of songs Kelly Clarkson sung on her Breakaway CD. It was a refreshing and nice change from all those slow ballads Clay usually does. I really can't choose a favorite because I like so many of the songs on this cd, but I recommend listening to "Falling" and "Ashes" for those of you who have never heard of Clay Aiken before.
Happy listening!!
Free Music Review: Very pleasant surprise
Hit: 5 Stars
I loved Clay on Idol and eagerly bought his first CD, only to be disappointed by the plastic sameness of the tracks (a problem with many Idol CDs it seems). His Christmas CD was, however, excellent, so I again ran out to get his next CD hoping for more of the same. Alas, it was a bunch of tired and bland covers, though his voice actually sounded OK on it. So when he released his latest CD a few months ago I didn't bother getting it. My mistake. I was given an iTunes gift card for my birthday and there was nothing I really wanted so in the end I downloaded Clay's latest album. Wow! Finally, good songs, varied songs, and a return to the voice I remember from Idol (well, almost). Since downloading it a couple of weeks ago I have hardly stopped listening to it, and it hasn't gotten tired yet. From the funky "Everything I Don't Need" to the mournful "Sacrificial Love" and the upbeat "Ashes," there isn't a bad song on the CD. I'm just sorry it took me so long to buy it.
Edited: this review was actually written by a friend when she was at my house, but I agree with her assessment of the album.
Free Music Review: Potential Hits!
Hit: 5 Stars
Clay's latest album has a number of potential hits! It took me little initial listening time to truly enjoy it. In fact, I liked this CD better - faster - than Measure of a Man, and I must say I am a huge fan of Measure of a Man!
I already have many favorites on this CD. I enjoyed "Lover, All Alone" from the very first listen. Additionally, it wasn't long before "On My Way Here" was running through my head. Currently, I cannot get enough of "Ashes," particularly, the chorus. Several other tracks are favorites, as well. This is NOT an album with filler songs.
The CD does not contain any songs which I do not like; however, my least favorite is "Something about Us." This song would be nice to dance to, but at times, I do not have the patience to listen to its slow pace.
Anyone who loves Clay's beautiful voice cannot go wrong with this CD! The Amazon price of $7.99 is an absolute steal! It also pleases me to support the career of a man who lives up to his promise to help others through the power of his celebrity. This truly is the measure of a man!
Free Music Review: On his way
Hit: 5 Stars
with this excellent third cd by Clay Aiken. While its the first of his cds that i've bought. I found myself partial to the title song "On My Way Here" written by Ryan Tedder (OneRepublic). It starts off the album very well and Clay's voice handles each song like it is meant for that individual song.
While i enjoyed the album very much. I am really fond of certain tracks:
"On My Way Here"
"Ashes"
"Everything I Need"
"Something About Us"
"Falling"
"Where I Draw The Line"
"Weight of the World"
"Lover All Alone" a song he cowrote on
With this release Clay continues to cement himself firmly in the music business and should continue to have much success now and in the future with this one. I will look into his other cds and plan on buying at least another one of them in the next few months without question. He's a great talent that shouldn't be overlooked because of his AI connection or whatever other reason.
Purchase "On My Way Here" and hear the cd that has folks excited all over the country.
Free Music Review: Great album
Hit: 5 Stars
I can honestly say, that there isn't a song on this album that I don't like. The lyrics are inspirational, moving, some even sexy and the voice is gorgeous. Clay lives up to his title The Prince of Positive Pop dubbed by MTV. There are uptempo songs, midtempo, and slow. No, you won't sleep through this CD. My most very favorite is Everything I Don't Need. It really rocks, and Clay just really brings it. It's very different from what he usually sings, and he is fantastic. The other uptempos are fantastic too...rockish, pop, and contemporary. There are some lovely ballads that will please the ballad romantic lovers, and some inspirational songs, dealing with rough days, and love. The Real Me, and As Long As We're here are very noteworthy...so beautiful. The ending track is Lover All Alone which Clay wrote with David Foster. It's from his heart, and it is so achingly beautiful and moving.
Clay has a winner with this CD. Everyone will find their own favorite songs. You'll dance, jive, and even shed a few tears. Enjoy !!!
