Baltic Voices 2

Disadvantages: Packaged in a cheap cardboard sleeve rather than a jewel case.

...- a song about being in a band on the road that is actually good. And excuse me, is that a trumpet solo in the middle? This isn't "Penny Lane" you know lads...

Advantages: Great Slow-Jam songs, enjoyable and laid back summer feeling
Disadvantages: quite a few of the songs sound the same?! But still sounds great

...Wow!! A truely great artist with great laid back summer vibes and tunes that you can sing along 2!! his songs tell us a more mature sound voice a mix of mario, omarion and usher! His hit selling song "Slow Down" is a song that never bores you and his new song "Tell Me" also featured on this album is sure to be another hit for the summer! There arent really any songs on here that you would be abled to dance to, there all slow, love songs. I think "Tell Me" has a really good beat though! In this talbum you get a enjoyable smooth sexy laid back voice! This album is sure to be a hit!! If you like artists such as Mario, Usher or Omarion but would like to hear a little more mature voice this is definitly the album for you!... Read review
