专辑简介

Gerald Goode is a New York Metropolitan Area-based musician known for his incredible voice, dynamic production work, Billboard-chart-topping remixes and his long-time tenure as the lead singer of the rock band Simple Jim. With just one listen to his self-produced debut solo CD, “For Those Who Have,” it is evident that his passion for music is strong; his artistic vision - bold. The record is a refreshing return to Album - Oriented Rock; it flows seamlessly from song to song, along the way blending Gerald’s soulful voice with his brooding piano riffs, his often dark & reflective lyrics, his sweeping orchestral landscapes and guitar-infused electronica. Released September 2008 on Gerald’s own imprint Vessel Music, this recording offers the commercial appeal of artists in the vein of Coldplay and Rob Thomas, but also has the dark, emotive strains of a performer like Fiona Apple. Throughout the 14 tracks on “For Those Who Have,” Gerald puts his heart out on the line as he sings about failed relationships, addiction, self-respect, the ins & outs of love and the loss of innocence. He is a true artist with a penchant for bearing his proverbial soul to his audience; a singer and performer with undeniable charisma and presence; and a musician who is not afraid to take risks by embracing his inner demons for the sake of his art form. To call \"For Those Who Have\" a strong first release from an up and coming singer/songwriter is an understatement; it is, in fact, yet another compelling chapter in Gerald’s remarkable musical journey.
