(5 out of 5 stars)
"A multi-faceted gem by Josh Zuckerman, featuring the following songs that make it shine.
To Be Today - A driven song that rocks with a message of spreading love by first being an example to others. Standout vocal performance by Josh Zuckerman - a raw and edgy delivery - with an artistic carnival spin.
Got Love? - Soulful, funky title track and first single released from this CD. Try listening to this one and not dancing. :) Delivers the message of not judging others or labeling them, but rather embracing each other's differences and similarities. Outer packaging doesn't matter...live in harmony, get love.
I Thought You Loved Me - A driven, infectious song that works its magic by addressing the disappointment of...dang it!...a one night stand, turning it on its head, and making it totally uplifting.
Let Love In - Gripping, brilliant song with a tight, funky beat and a bridge and chorus that are a beautiful release. Speaks to genuineness and vulnerability - let one's guard down, let love in.
Mother I - A tribute to Josh's mother in which he thanks her for her enduring love and support. This song simply rocks - and its tempo says beat box. Listen for lead guitarist Steve DeVito's masterful solo.
If Prayer - A melodic, insightful song that asks us to be still and quiet and to listen to our inner selves for the answers to our prayers. Delivered from the wisdom of experience, its spiritual message rings true.
Fall In Love Again - A beautiful ballad with a touch of country, commanding in its simplicity. The song embraces the sensitive, hopeful possibility of getting back together again.
When We Dance - Synth-driven, danceable fun with an 80's vibe. A great escape - close your eyes and you're on a packed dance floor.
My Inspiration - A jazz-infused, rhythmic, ethereal song in which the songwriter pays tribute to those who have inspired him. We are likewise reminded to reflect and "pass the candle" - to give love by inspiring others. Josh's music is a work of inspiration in and of itself - one can listen and be touched on many levels.
Take - Emotes the hurried pace and occasional dark clouds of life. The chorus is an uplifting exhale as Josh shares what he feels when he is performing the songs that he writes. Features another scorching guitar solo by Steve DeVito.
Our Wedding Song - Harmonic and countrified with splendid instrumentation. The story of a couple who surmount the ups and downs and dedicate themselves to each other. They write their own wedding song - an anthem of their own relationship.
Small Percentile - Reggae - is there any genre that Josh Zuckerman can't write? Conveys the feeling of not being understood by many, but is positive and fun. Listen for witty lyrics such as "I can't find Jack" and "...tall, dark, and breathing."
Got Love?...
Get It...
Love It!
