Rob Thomas Cradlesong Review Rob Thomas Cradlesong Review

By Johny Cage

Rob Thomas is one of the most prolific and talented songwriters in modern music. The famous singer started his solo career in 2005 with the album "Something To Be." The album debuted at number one on the Billboard charts and was praised by critics. Prior to this he was best known for his music with the band Matchbox 20. Thomas briefly reunited with his band in 2007 before working on his second solo album.

Thomas' second album titled "Cradlesong," was released on June 30th, 2009. There's nothing really new or innovative in this second solo outing. For anyone who enjoyed the first album, you'll feel right at home listening to "Cradlesong." The sound is a mix of 80's and modern pop music.

"Cradlesong," has a very polished and well produced tone. The songwriting is top notch and beautifully performed. Thomas is known for an upbeat tone and positive feeling in his music. This album is no different for the most part. It does, however, contain a few songs with some less upbeat topics covered in the lyrics.

The first single to be released from "Cradlesong," is a catchy tune called "Her Diamonds." It has already received heavy radio play. It has a nice tempo that goes along well with Thomas' voice. On the track titled "Fire On The Mountain," Thomas explores some new creative sounds. There's a cool Middle Eastern flavor to some of the guitar riffs and a hypnotic drum beat.

The first single "Her Diamonds," is one of the best songs on the album. You're sure to hear this tune on your favorite pop radio station. This is an easy album to recommend to fans of Rob Thomas and music fans in general. It's hard to say if it will attain the success of Thomas' previous work, but it definitely is a worthy successor. - 18758
