Free Music Notes for City Zen
Free Music Review: Delightfully peaceful
Hit: 5 Stars
I came across Kevin Johansen courtesy of a free sample CD I got at a retail music outlet store. The sampler had three of the five English language songs on this CD; "All I Wanna Do Is You", "Push Your Luck" and "Everything Is (Falling Into Place)". I might not have gone ahead and bought the full album if I had known that seven of the twelve songs on it are in Spanish but I've grown to love it now.
Johansen is not the best singer in the world but he has a beautiful singing voice; a deep baritone voice that drips with the richness of kindness and warmth. He's delightfully peaceful to listen to and if that's the vibe he was going for (the album is called "City Zen" after all) then he has scored a bullseye as far as I'm concerned. I have no idea what the Spanish songs are about (and am too lazy to find out) but they are pleasant enough sounding and the music, presumably played by The Nada, is very well produced. It's clean, clear and full, and with acoustic guitar and bass much to the fore it's right up my street.
The three English songs that came on the sampler are still my favourites though "I Don't Know" and "The Gem In I" are also really nice. I especially love the way Johansen let his 7-year old daughter sing backing vocals on "Everything Is". It adds an added level of innocence and purity to the whole album. Nice wholesome stuff. I'll be checking out his other CDs now, for sure.
