Get Free
Starting with a piano and vocal arrangement, this bursts out to more of a rocking sound on the choruses. It’s definitely a modern pop rock type tune. That said, it has plenty of classic elements at the same time. Although a little trite, this is fun and energetic. |
|
Not Going Home
The vocal performance here is much more soulful. The cut is a lot meatier, too. This is powerful. It does wander toward more pure pop music later, though. Even so, when it does, it loses a little magic, but gains a lot of energy at the same time. This song is considerably stronger than the opener was. |
|
Simplicity
More pure pop music, this is good, but not at the same level as the last one. It’s a bit trite and forgettable. Honestly, were the vocals not as strong as they are, this song would be a failure. As it is, it is mediocre. |
|
So Very Small
This slower, mellower piece has a lot of jazz in the mix. It also has a lot of magic included. It’s one of the best songs of the set. The arrangement, vocal performance and everything about it works so well. This is evocative and powerful. This is worth the price of admission by itself. |
|
I'm Ready
Although this is a bit less interesting, it’s reasonably effective. I like the multi-layered vocal arrangement. The general song structure and fairly generic pop sound don’t do that much for me, though. |
|
Here I'll Stand
Not a big change, the brand of pop music delivered here is the same as that on most of the disc. That said, this is a soaring, triumphant piece. It’s one of the strongest here. I think it’s really the best choice for this closing position. |
