Sebuah Etalase Karya: Gerald Levert Father And Son Pop Music CD Review

InTRo

Assalamu alaikum!

Nama saya Epping. Saya "berprofesi" sebagai koas. Koas itu nama lain dari dokter muda. Harus belajar dan mengabdi di Rumah Sakit selama kurang lebih 2 tahun atau bisa juga selama-lamanya, baru kemudian bisa dipanggil Pak Dokter. Tapi di sini saya tidak akan berbagi apapun tentang dunia medis yang menjemukan itu. Saya lebih senang membahas kegemaran saya, kesenangan saya dan apa-apa saja yang membuat hal-hal itu timbul. Tiap orang punya minat dan hobi masing-masing, kadang kala kegemaran mereka itu bahkan bertolak belakang dengan bidang yang mereka pelajari demi sesuap nasi. Itulah hidup, penuh dengan pilihan, dan orang-orang yang salah memilih.

Begitu juga saya, saya gemar menulis lagu meskipun tidak bisa baca-tulis partitur. Saya juga senang membuat file-file video bercerita yang orang sebut sebagai film indie.

Pada dasarnya saya senang dengan segala hal berbau seni, kecuali airnya, tentu saja.

Di blog ini saya menyimpan karya-karya saya dan membaginya kepada Anda di saat bersamaan. Selama ini lagu-lagu saya cuma mengonggokkan diri mereka di dalam komputer. Baru beberapa waktu yang lalu saya mulai berpikir untuk posting lagu-lagu ini ke blog, sebelum komputer saya, rumah mereka, musnah ditelan rayap... So, selamat datang, Teman... Silahkan dengar blogku...

Gerald Levert Father And Son Pop Music CD Review

Gerald Levert has released him most recent CD entitled Father And Son.

This CD literally grabs your attention right from the very beginning with For The Love and won't let go until the very last note of the very last song The Apple Don't Fall, which by the way is another great track.

Pop music fans will recognize some of the well known guests that have been assembled to play along with Levert on several of the tracks. Artists like Randy Bowland and Eddie Levert just to name a couple.

If you're even mildly into Pop music you'll enjoy this CD. Overall Father And Son is an a great release. I give it my double thumbs up. You will not be disappointed with one single track.

While the entire CD is really very good the truly standout tunes are track 2 - I Got Your Back, track 11 - You Got Your Hooks In Me, and track 12 - The Apple Don't Fall.

My Bonus Pick, and the one that got Sore [...as in "Stuck On REpeat"] is track 1 - For The Love. Great track!
