Album Reviews:

Truly unique.
author: Moe Shukri
In today's society, we are faced with many different types of genres of music; from hip-hop to old folk; country to jazz. This album truly represents a nice blend of everything. Emphasizing on the first track, one you'll really have on repeat! When I first heard it, I was astonished. Trying to put a label on it; "is this jazz or soft rock," I gave up and just enjoyed the smooth moods. Truly unique. You'll find yourself not only loving this track, but wanting to enlighten youself with the rest of the songs available on the album. I am a university undergrad who loves different types of music. However, I am very picky when it comes to jazz-type songs. Either you have it, or you don't. And Maceman has truly hit the spot with his album. I have recommended it to friends, family, grandparents, and even have some requests for air-time on local broadcast stations in my city.
**MY FAV. TOP FIVE** 1.) I'm That Man 2.) High School 3.) How Can I Love You 4.) Fire and Rainfall 5.) Beautiful Day.

Been looking forward to this release!
