Free Music Review: Soulful Degraw nowhere to be found...
Hit: 2 Stars
I was browsing around looking for a different cd when I saw a few months ago that Degraw would be coming out with another cd. I'd already heard a couple of the songs on the album last year, such as Cop Stop, We Belong Together and She Holds A Key from various places such as One Tree Hill soundtrack and some live stuff. I was impressed.
Chariot blew me away and still does. Love it. In fact the first versions of the three above named songs were amazing as well. If the rest of the album was anything like those three songs, then I would be blown away yet again. Unfortunately, Degraw blew this one big time.
The album is gimmicky and forced, almost as though Degraw got a little full of himself. I'm not going to say I dislike the album because it wasn't like Chariot, 'cause I love artists that can continually reinvent themselves and still retain their old style. Degraw didn't do that here. He turned even more poppy. You'll be listening along and all of a sudden he starts throwing gimmicky lines in and trying to be cute with his voice, then back up singers start repeating his lines in the background.
Remember the three songs I mentioned earlier? They were all changed from what I had already heard, for the worse. Cop Stop was a great song I heard him do live. Just the audience, him and a drummer. This poppy version of it has women background singers mimicking him in a high pitched voice "cop stop..." Same with We Belong Together (One Tree Hill soundtrack) and She Holds a Key (live version). This album is overly poppy and Degraw lost the essence that made him so great in Chariot.
I never would have thought that I would eagerly wait for the second album and be so let down. The only redeeming value is the second song which is catchy and has a great beat. The rest of it? Not worth it as he only teases the listener with a voice that sounds familiar and at the same time the songs are nowhere near the quality we all know he is capable of producing. Not a recommend.
2 stars.
