 Elliott does it again
Submitted on: 2009-10-04 |

| I couldn't wait for the next Elliott Yamin CD for so long and when I stumbled upon fight for love, I was so excited. I guess it hasn't done as well because it seems to be for lack of promotion. This CD starts off where his first CD left off. All the songs are great and Elliott's touch is clearly on all the songs he co-wrote. The song he sings for his mom is very touching and excellent. You will not be disappointed in this CD from start to finish. |

A wonderful buy

| Another one of the "must have" for me. Liked the album a lot. I believe Elliott is largely underestimated right now, but will become a truly renowned artist. The seller is wonderful - incredibly fast shipping, and such a bargain price for the disk that looked brand new (sold as "like new"). Way to buy music. |

 Elliott Yamin - an unsung talent!

This is the second album by the American Idol finalist Elliott Yamin.
It is melodic, multi-layered and beautifully sung by the talented Yamin. He is the sort of artist that deserves to be winning Grammies but somehow he has not really broken through to the "big time". Blue eyed soul of the most soulful kind. Superb. |

| Great singing as always from Elliott. But most of the songs sound the same. |

 Elliott's voice is still great, but....

OK..right off the bat, I'll admit that I am in my early fifties. I love Elliott Yamin's voice, and bought his first cd right when it was released. Although not a perfect cd, every song rang true...I never got the feeling that he was "going through the motions" when he sang. I was impressed by his songwriting, and loved the fact that he mixed it up, style-wise. He would drop little "hints" of what was to come, in a way...a little scat singing at the end of a song here, a funky, driving groove there, an old-school soul song, a few contemporary R&B love songs. I couldnt' wait until his next cd.
I can't help but admit that I'm disappointed.
"Fight for Love" is more "polished," but more commercially contemporary. Elliott is a young man, so it is only natural he would want to record some contemporary R&B, but I don't think these songs showcase the versatility of his fantastic voice. Where is the jazz/blues/soul fusion that we all loved? Where are the vocals that made us stop what we were doing and really listen? Remember the jaw-dropping perfection of his AI performance of "Moody's Mood for Love," or the pared down, heartfelt cover of "Song For You?" Where is the promise of "Find a Way" and "Train Wreck" from his debut album? In my opinion, few of these new songs hold a candle to those, mostly because of the snap-clap synth thing. It makes each song sound like every other contemporary R&B song out there.
It could just be a generational thing..maybe I'm just not feeling this cd because of my age. I just felt like I was listening to slightly different versions of the same song when I listened to "Fight For Love."
Maybe on his next cd he will use more of his voice and less of the machine. Maybe he'll cut a "Songs for My Mother"-type tribute cd to make us purists (or old fogies) happy, and we'll hear the funky, bluesy scat-singin' INTERESTING young vocalist again! |
