Free Music Review: Incredible talent
Hit: 5 Stars
In the late 90's, it was an era getting into the full swing of plastic pop-music, laced with atrocious orchestration, where gyrating hips and busty pseudo-blondes were dominating the airwaves, accompanied by male counterpart bands whos gimmick was the ability to sing in unison and dance at the same time (a step above walking and chewing bubblegum). As if it were a greek comedy, ironically, out from the middle of all this came the album "Maybe You've Been Brainwashed Too" like a rose straining up between weeds and kudzu. The single "You Get What You Give" was music that actually sounded like genuine music, and from a major record label, and on top of that, it was getting airtime and had a video. I marvelled at this and had to find out who was behind it and what movement they were leading, so I did a brief internet search and found out "New Radicals" was pretty much a solo operation (Gregg Alexander) with the exception of studio musicians. Although some songs on the album do contain a few drug references, and Gregg at some points is not mild about his language, one reading of the lyrics to the album's title song (Maybe You've Been Brainwashed Too) is comparable to the lyrics of Marvin Gaye's "What's Going On?", or some singers and songwriters from the 60's but with a much sterner tone. Gregg brought out to the forefront many issues that musicians today are oblivious to, or are too delicate to touch. Anyone from this generation who would go through a collection of old albums would be in store for a real culture shock, not just on the quality of the songs, but of their content one might say "Wow, people actually used to sing about this stuff, and they were hits?". Yes, the problems didnt go away just because we stopped looking at them. Gregg himself claims he is a firm believer in the power of music, unfortunately much of the music out nowadays has about as much power as a hill-bound Hyundai.
Getting back to the quality of the songs, not all of them are upbeat and positive, but one thing Gregg always comes back to is life and love. He sings about real things, some songs are sad, but they're not dismal. Some songs have drug references, but they're not about drugs. He has a knack for being able to write songs that convey emotions that we've all felt. He sings them like he really relates to you but you can't find the words to express yourself. "Someday We'll Know"--The second single from the album has already been covered by two other artists/groups, one of them being the great Hall&Oates, and the other, Mandy Moore. It's no surprise that Gregg turned out to get the BMI music award in 2004 for his hand in writing "The Game of Love", a song that received over one million airplays in a year, sung by Michelle Branch. He has since written and produced for dozens of other artists after he disbanded New Radicals, and even if "Maybe You've Been Brainwashed Too" did come out years ago, there obviously continues to be a small, but growing fanbase of his work.
