Add Some Music To Your Day (Gary Usher's Symphonic Tribute To Brian Wilson) - Gary Usher

Advantages: 'Love in this Club', 'Moving Mountains', 'Appetite'
Disadvantages: 'Love You Gently', 'Before I Met You', 'Lifetime'

..., Moving Mountains (4.58), 5* Let me give you a small insight into some of the tracks that were left off the album, a couple of note were 'Painter' and 'Flash'. Considering these drew inspiration for lyrics from suggesting 'I'm not a flash in the pan' and asking 'Will you paint me a picture?' it's a surprise that there are so many slightly uninspired left on the project. 'This Ain't Sex' and 'Trading Places' are tracks that will never make it as standalone singles because they go on a little long and aren't exactly radio-friendly.

...features This track has an infectious hip hop feel with some bass guitar licks and drum beats that are key to the tracks feel. Not the best on the track but has it's appeal as a funky hip hop track. 3.) Nice and Slow This has an amazing guitar intro that sounds brilliant, It's key to the track's overall mellow feel. The soft drum beat comes through and then Usher's vocals come in. This is a lovely romantic ballad about spending time with your partner. It sounds wonderful too. And it was written by Brian Casey of Jagged Edge. 4.) Slow Jam This duet with R&B songstress Monicas is a cover of Midnight Star's 1983 hit and It is a lovely ballad about how music can be a part of a relationship. Most couples have their favourite song together and this is not a bad one to have. 5.) My Way This isnt a cover of Frank Sinatra's well known track... Read review
