Sebuah Etalase Karya: Gerald Levert G 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 G Pop Music CD Review

G is the latest Pop CD put out by the extremely talented Gerald Levert who once again has delivered a brilliant collection of tracks. I'm confident Gerald Levert fans, and Pop fans alike will be pleased with this one.

This CD literally grabs your attention right out of the gate with Application (I'm Lookin' For A New Love) and doesn't let go until the very last note of the very last song These, which by the way is another great track.

Pop music fans will recognize some of the well known contributors on the project including Randy Bowland and Paul Pesco plus a few other notables as well.

Overall G is a solid release. Quite possibly Gerald Levert's best to date. Really sensational from beginning to end. If you're even mildly into Pop music you'll enjoy this CD.

While this entire CD is outstanding the truly standout tunes are track 3 - Nothn' To Somethin', track 10 - Second Time Around, and track 13 - These.

My Bonus Pick, and the one that got Sore [...as in "Stuck On REpeat"] is track 1 - Application (I'm Lookin' For A New Love). What a nice track!
