"
The title song is obviously the most famous and you will know if you like it or not. The rest of the album is suprisingly good - I loved it. There is a slight rap flavor to some songs but it's softer and more musical than contemporary rap."

How can you not love this music??

"There are songs that stay in your head all day, and there are songs that stay in your head for years. This is one of the latter. The beat, the simple words, the music takes me back to my younger days and gets my heart pumping and my feet moving. I didn't realize how much I loved this song till I heard it again, and I knew that I had to have it for my workout collection. I love it! This song can actually bring you out of a depressing day. Highly recommended, wish there were more like it!"

A Hidden Treasure indeed

"I came across this CD in a thrift store about 4 years ago. Looked at the track listing, saw How Bizarre and for 99 cents thought it'd be worth it just for that song. To think I almost missed out on this fantastic album because I thought it might suck since I'd only heard that one song on the radio. I couldn't have been more wrong, and that was 99 cents well spent! I loved the world music-meets-rap feel. It was cool getting an entirely different cultures take on the art form. And it was refreshing and original in that it incorporated instruments and topics rarely found in wester rap. Don't get me wrong, this isn't a Rap album. It's a culture album. You're taken on an excursion through another outlook on the world, from the other side of the wordl, and it's got an awesome soundtrack to boot. I can see that some people bought or just listened to the album with preconceptions that left them dissapointed. I just opened my mind and walked right in. I listen to just about any type of music, and there's a mix of just about everything here. Long story short, I was a late arrival to the Pauly fanclub, but better late than never!



P.S.



For those that haven't already found out, Pauly has released a recent song a couple years ago that he sung with Lucy Lawless from Xena: The Warrior Princess fame believe it or not. She's got a pretty good voice and already had a singing career in Australia. Pauly was a burn fast and bright artist. Lost nearly everything and ended up flat broke. He's staging a comeback with an old friend (How Bizarre's producer). You can find the viceo for his most recent song and a story about his rise and fall on You Tube. (Written February 2009)"
