"Here's a tasty collection of piano and keyboard jewels from a gentleman who definitely knows how to write and perform solid hit music. Vernon D. Fails has a very impressive resume, to say the least, having been keyboardist and arranger for two of the best-known songs on Anita Baker's debut "Rapture" album...namely "Mystery" and "Caught up in the Rapture." He later won "Songwriter of the Year" honors for "Fairytale" off Baker's "Compositions" release. The list of artists with whom Fails has performed and recorded is equally impressive, and includes the likes of Gerald Albright, Eric Clapton, George Duke, Nathan East, Chaka Khan, Greg Phillinganes, Joe Sample, David Sanborn, and Stevie Wonder. With a list of credits this long, you'd expect Mr. Fails to put out an exceptional solo project, and he has done exactly that with HEAR THE VISION. From romantic ballads to soulful jams, he has created a very smooth collection of tunes to warm up you and your sound system, and set a mellow mood for whatever you might have in mind that needs an especially flavorsome musical accompaniment. I especially like "I'm Here," with its vibe-like melody line, and also the sensual, romantic ballads, "Remember" and "You." Do yourself a favor and pick up a copy of HEAR THE VISION for those special moments that require an especially sweet and soulful soundtrack! ~ Scott O'Brien"

SUPER GOOD!
