Twice In One Day

| Michael Monroe combines fusion jazz, reggae and calypso with a kind of new age outlook on life. He has a supple voice and uses sophisticated jazzy arrangements of electric and acoustic guitar, exotic percussion, keyboards and flute. The production is extremely spiffy for a self-produced album, and the glossy insert even includes lyrics. Having said, "new age" a label some people dread, I should emphasize that the music itself would never bring those words to mind, it's the lyrics that do. Case in point: an A capella, stoop singing song called, "Follow Your Happiness," and a reggae song called, "Here Now." I thought, "this guy could be on the fringe for the rest of his life, or he could sell a million records." Hard to say which, maybe the combination of jazzy arrangements and the 'find your inner child' lyrics could be big. |
