"I was happy to see that Michael Amante's new CD "Humbled" has arrived on Amazon.com, where it should be to gain the most exposure, for new fans to both Michael and fans of Gospel/Religious music. Hopefully now those fans looking for uplifting and heartfelt praise to God will discover the amazing talent of this versatile performer. Michael's lst & 2nd CDs demonstrated his considerable talents in Italian Opera and Italian & American classic songs, as well as some other love ballads, done in a pop & slightly jazzy style. But Michael shows us in "Humbled" his deep love and commitment to the Lord in a most personal way, and his voice is as pure and honest as ever. My favorite song is "I Can See" which has a most beautiful melody, which Michael sings with excellent dynamics and shading, a mix of power and sweet tenderness in his voice.



You will hear many such songs sung beautifully and fervently, including "I Will Glory in the Cross", "God & God Alone", When His Kingdom Comes", to name a few. The latter song has a powerful high note, which may be a High C at the very end....not unusual for Michael Amante! He sings those high notes as effortlessly as he uses his sweet mezza-voce in songs like "His Eye is on the Sparrow", "A Chasing of the Wind", and "Danny Boy". This last song on the CD he sings acapella, (no musical accompaniment), as few recording artists would dare to do on a CD, but he pulls it off very nicely! His voice is beautiful in falsetto as well. Two other songs are familiar ones - "The Lord's Prayer" and "Oh Come Emmanuel" - 12 songs in total. I strongly recommend this new album for anyone who wants to be inspired, not only by a gorgeous tenor voice, but also to live our lives in the service of God and all of His children. Michael Amante REALLY sings from his heart here, and in my opinion, his versions of these songs surpass well established Gospel recording artists like Steve Green, one of the great voices that have inspired him."

"This is Michael's third album and he goes in a different, and very personal, direction this time. Michael's selection of religious music shows off his voice in a very positive way. He had performed a few of these songs in concert and his fans were begging him to make the album. His orchestra leader, Herb Bernstein, did a superb job on the arrangements on the ablum. If you like Michael Amante, you will find this album to be his best so far."
