HENRY IGLESIAS and THE NOW with the
debut album "3 Billion Seconds" I think I've heard the music
for the New Millennium, it's from Henry Iglesias and THE NOW
On the CD, "
3 Billion Seconds",Iglesias and his band have created an innovative synthesis
of musical genres which results in a truly unique, upbeat, captivating, and
inspiring sound. It is a combination of Sophisticated Rock with Rhythm &
Blues, Soulful Ballads and Dance beats with Latin Variations blended into an
engaging and spirited mix. The album makes you listen and also makes you want
to dance. Iglesias exuded a likabililty, a realness and a truthfulness in his
arresting lyrics that shines through in virtually every song. The merging of
these powerful lyrics with such eclectic rhythms creates a visceral listening
experience unlike any I have heard in quite some time. The brilliant guitar
riffs by James Lum are reminiscent of Hendrix and Clapton. This CD moved me in
addition to making me move. The musical and lyrical mastery of Iglesias makes
the listener want to sing along, and sometimes cry along with these rich
melodic tales of the human quest for evolution and love at the turn of the
century. This is music from the heart, music for the conscious, and I truly
believe ground-breaking music for the New Millennium! |
