专辑简介

A collection of Infectious, drippingly melodic, pure pop songs from "the crown prince of soft pop". Sweet, soulful, intelligent (and intelligible!), well-crafted, impeccably produced and performed by one of the most critically acclaimed singer-songwriters working today. None other than Barry Manilow calls him "The best singer-songwriter to come along since the heyday of Tin Pan Alley". Billboard magazine says, "Don't miss a chance to see this charming and talented artist in concert". This collection features some of the best tracks and fan favorites culled from the singer's extensive catalog. Guest artists include Gerry Beckley from America, Robert Lamm from Chicago, Gilby Clarke from Guns n Roses, along with some of the best studio musicians in the world. "Wake Me Up..." was a Top 20 AC/Adult Alternative Billboard smash and radio staple. If the lead track, "Arianne" doesn't make you miss your first love, nothing will. The pleading sorrow of "Let Me Let Go" is offset by the hopeful "Tomorrow We'll Try Again". Obviously an erudite scholar of 60s-70s radio singles, Vincent's melodies and arrangements lay the perfect bed for his universally accessible lyrics. This is for people who long for the days when radio was innocent and fun. That's not to say Vincent's lyrics aren't deep and wistful, even at times nostalgic and melancholy, but the music leaves you feeling as if everything's going to be OK, and that tomorrow is 'Gonna Be A Great Day'. Even the title of this collection elicits hope, it's the best...so far, meaning we will be treated to more pop gems from this very cool artist in the future. Looking forward to it!-CDonline
