Free Music Review: Never sleep on Wayne Brady again
Hit: 5 Stars
Okay, I know I am REALLY late with this review - only because I didn't even hear this CD until two days ago. I have always been aware of Wayne Brady and his many talents but didn't consider myself a "fan" of his. He has always struck me as sort of a squeaky-clean song and dance man, a la Ben Vereen/Sammy Davis, Jr. who also happens to be a comedian. He is sort of a rarity in today's entertainment world, which is filled with so-called "entertainers" who possess something some folks refer to as talent on a very limited level, and receive accolades for being mediocre.
Wayne Brady is different. He is extremely gifted, but he doesn't get all the props he should. Guess he isn't thuggish enough, huh? I, like so many others, remember very well his startling and straight up hilarious guest appearance on Dave Chappelle's show years ago, and of course, "Whose Line Is It Anyway", "Don't Forget the Lyrics" and his short-lived variety show. I always knew he could sing, but hearing this CD made me so upset with myself because I hadn't purchased it sooner. I heard it while driving around this weekend with a friend and was floored. This is Wayne Brady?! Damn!!
His voice is an instrument of beauty - rich, passionate and soulful.
And guess what? He just gained a new fan.
If you love both old school soul and contemporary R&B, then there is NO WAY you should not own this! This is good music we grown and sexy people can groove to, without the silly, oversexed lyrics and computerized junk that has invaded the once gorgeous art form of soul and R&B, and made it only a shadow of what it once was. Wayne brings the heat on his debut. Think of a little bit of Jamie Foxx, a less profane R. Kelly, and Brian McKnight, and you've got Wayne Brady, believe it or not!
Loved all the tracks except for "F.W.B.", mainly because the song doesn't seem to fit his persona, and his version of Stevie Wonder's "All I Do" - didn't really care for it because to me, NOBODY can sing that song like Stevie - but everything else is straight FIRE. "Can't Buy Me Love", the Beatles' classic, is actually a similar arrangement to the smooth remake that New Jack Swing architect Teddy Riley's group BLACKstreet recorded in 1996 on their CD ANOTHER LEVEL (check it out if you have never heard it) - I loved their version and Wayne does it justice. I especially enjoyed "Beautiful Ugly" which has a definite R. Kelly vibe with the lyrics, music and vocals. "Back In The Day" is upbeat, fun and a trip back to the '80s subjectwise. He even does a little rap on the song. On "A Change Is Gonna Come", Wayne actually sounds like Sam Cooke in some parts!
It's an unfortunate thing, but I feel the beauty of A LONG TIME COMING will be passed over in favor of the mess that most of today's R&B is. Songs about love and romance with real instruments playing the music is something that is viewed as passe, but I'm glad Wayne took this route. There is still an audience out here for those appreciate real soul and R&B, and thank you, Wayne, for remembering that. Don't waste another minute, pick this up today.
Long Time Coming Poster
The highly anticipated debut album from Wayne Brady, the multi-talented artist, has definitely been A Long Time Coming. This collection of contemporary R&B with an "old school" feel will impress both long-time fans as well as those new to his vocal prowess.Pop Music CDs
