RAMIN – S/T
Ramin Karimloo may not be your normal GRTR! fare as he has made his
name in a series of West End shows including 'Les Miserables' and 'Love
Never Dies'. This is his debut album, a mix of self-penned tunes,
musical numbers and a few covers.
'Show Me Light' and 'Coming Home' are decent AOR numbers with a
suitably grandiose musical backing. He makes 'Music Of the Night' from
'Phantom of the Opera' his own – you can see why he lands so many lead
roles in musicals. Listen out for the Muse cover, 'Guiding Light' done
like a musical number, as is the Bryan Adams cover 'Everything I Do (I
Do It For You)'. The album can dip occasionally into MOR/cheesy
listening but overall a decent listen for fans of musicals and big
production AOR.
Released in early February this is perfect for the Valentines Day
market and Radio 2 daytime airplay, plus rock fans who have a melodic
rock passion.
