Free Music Review: Passionless Singing
Hit: 1 Stars
I have Rick Springfield as a ringback tone on my cell phone. In 1981 played air guitar on my bed rocking out to "Jesse's Girl." I stayed with him, even through Tao, and smiled when he made a cameo appearance on The Colbert Report. His rocking tunes always rocked my world, and his mellow stuff always hit the right notes with me. But this Christmas CD is the dealbreaker.
I tried so hard to like this album. I honestly did. Yet a third of the way through I was glancing down at the minute/second display on the radio, hoping the given song was almost over.
What I always loved about Rick Springfield was his soulful, passionate delivery of his lyrics, on his ballads and his up-tempo songs. He would always sing like he meant it -- like his life depended on it, no matter the tune.
Not anymore.
I have never before heard a Christmas album where all the songs sounded virtually the same -- and where that 'same' could be defined as the singer whining/pining throughout each number. It sounds as though each track were recorded in one take. Each song sounds like it is in the same key as the previous tune.
But worst of all is the complete lack of heart, something I never expected. I can forgive, even enjoy, a raspy voice (Bob Dylan's new Christmas album, for example, is a million times more heartfelt than Rick's.) But if this album were cut by someone named "Rob Springfield," it never would have made it out the studio door.
If you want passionless, genericly sung tunes, sadly, this CD has them.
Nothing wrong with having peaked in 1982. But I can no longer pretend otherwise. This CD is on its way to the donation bin.
