Biography
Freedom is such a loosely used word in the America's lexicon. What constitutes freedom? Unfortunately this world traps us in many ways. Physically. Emotionally. Mentally.
Andrew Sorenson's debut album, "Dream It Good,"allows the listener to escape from the realities that settle in our brain cavities. This album is truly liberating, and is what all pop/rock-soul-R&B hybrids should be: good, raw, fun, and funky. Sorenson mixes '60s-style rock with '70s soul in an eclectic celebration of sound.
This is and extremely fun, collection of postmodern rock ditties that comes off as a pleasantly workable combination of Tin Pan Alley showmanship. Sorenson expands well on the hook-laden songcraft heard in “Jesus is the Way to Heaven.” This is the type of album that might take a few listens - can be raw and simple at times - but beneath the surface is a great deal of substance. Sorenson has a knack for melody and chord progression - probably his strongest suit.
Growing up in suburbia Hudson, Ohio, Andrew frequented many coffee bars and small pubs. His roots stem from a piano, but also has skills on the guitar and trumpet. The opening track sounds like a late 70’s Stevie Wonder effort, soothing and tranquil like coming into the forest. Other album highlights include the playful track, “Her Spangled Boots,” his strongest bass line effort in, “Train to Glory,” and most inspiring track, “When I see Jesus Face to Face.” The bridge on that closing track is emotional and melodically a real masterpiece.
Sorenson wins with his first solo effort. At every turn, "Dream It Good" finds Sorenson to be a mature, thoughtful, and gifted musician who fully grasps his place - not just in the record industry, but in life.
