Free Music Notes for Red

Free Music Review: Corny Cabaret
Hit: 2 Stars

On American Idol, John Stevens won over Paula Abdul, Randy Jackson,and even the icy Simon Cowell with his attempts to imitate Frank Sinatra. Now that he's struck out on his own,he's doing what every "retro with an edge" star is doing (like Michael Buble,Madeleine Peyroux,Luciana Souza),he's covering standards. Cover albums can shine light on timeworn songs. They can transform a golden oldie into something new.

On "Red",Stevens tries to be another Frank Sinatra. He has all the vocal stylings,a pleasant voice-- but his performance is dull&lifeless. There's no passion. His "Come fly with me" lacks enthusiasm. His take on Gershwin's "Someone to watch over me" puts the casual listener to sleep. The classic love songs "I only have eyes for you" and "It had to be you" are neutered. Like a horse. Stevens also makes some creative choices-the Beatles' "Here,there&everywhere" as well as Maroon 5's "This love." Kudos to him for venturing out of the Great American Songbook,trying the British Invasion AND recent disposable bubblegum pop! His "Here,there&everywhere" isn't as trippin' as the original. No acid rock or Hindu spirituality here. (One wonders how Stevens would've handled "I am the walrus" or "Across the universe.") No musical curry here;it's as bland as meat and potatoes. Finally,"This love." Thankfully,Stevens doesn't have Adam Levine's oft-annoying nasal falsetto. He makes the song slightly less annoying. He renders it of its spiritedness,however. "This love" becomes easy-listening muzak. It would bore Yanni to tears.

John Stevens has a promising career as a singer. He has the voice,he has the natural talent. He needs to find the right songs. Once more,WITH FEELING!

Red Poster

John Stevens, the retro redhead who became a national sensation on "American Idol", debuts with the aptly titled Red, an album of classic covers of timeless standards. Red showcases the velvet vocals and boy-next-door charm of the underaged but old-fashioned teen crooner who wooed 30 million viewers weekly and took America by storm.
