Review: One World, One Love

He has sold more than 53 million records, won multiple Grammies for Best Male Vocalist, has a star on Hollywood’s Walk of Fame, and won six American Music Awards.  Who is he? Michael Bolton.  And I received his new album, One World, One Love. I honestly had not thought of Michael Bolton in years.  I can remember knowing many Michael Bolton songs in the 90s, but it seems somewhere around there, my taste turned more to country and I knew less and less of anything but that. As I pushed One World, One Love into my computer and put on headphones, I was hopeful though. I did like Michael Bolton once upon a time. I even had some of those songs on my iPod.

And I was not disappointed. I didn’t even realize it at first, but within two or three songs I was moving my body with the music (you know, chair dancing…lol), and thinking WOW!  This was really good. I then turned it up and told the girls they’d have to make eye contact if they needed my attention. From this point, I listened to the entire album in one setting. In fact, I was surprised to find it over.

The music is mostly really upbeat and gets in your head.  The first time through I must admit that I barely heard the words. Just the music itself had me hooked. The second time around I paid more attention to the lyrics and realized there were good too.  This CD passed the test and will be put in the car.
