A few days ago I received an e-mail from someone saying that I should take a listen to Gavin Mikhail. Being the gal that I am, I immediately did, because I'm always excited to listen to new music. I'm quite, QUITE impressed. In fact, I ended up buying one of his album's ('My Personal Beauty Needs') at eMusic.

I would proudly turn up the volume to proclaim the greatness of Gavin Mikhail. This music just makes me feel good! And while I was listening to it, my three-year-old said "Mommy, I like that song, what is it?" My son loves music as much as me. He has a complete drum kit, an acoustic guitar, a keyboard and a microphone. He is a musical prodigy. He is also very honest and will tell me to turn music off if he doesn't like it.

The first album Gavin launched is "My Personal Beauty Needs" and that is what I bought. You can tell this is his debut CD, it has some rough patches. I like it, I'm very happy to have it. There are just moments when I feel like it is a bit too rushed. He has such vocal talent, he should bellow, he should let loose and I think the debut album showed room for growth.

Now, I have also listened to his newer music on the album "Like Normal People Do." He has shown he is multi-faceted in terms of what type of music he can cover. His new album is mellow, his voice croons almost I mean, vocally the improvement and the range is unbelievable. The new album is full of refreshing spirital emotion. Gavin takes care of the lead vocals, guitar and keyboard. Frank Cuden is on drums, Paul Rippee on bass, Neilson Hubbard is on a guitar and helps Gavin with programming and then we have beautiful string work from Chris Carmichael on not one, but THREE instruments: violin, viola and cello.

Really, just buy these albums. There is no reason not to buy them.
