I am a
romantic, a deep romantic and when I have those ‘moments’ when I have the urge
to watch a vintage movie, or even a modern drama, or even a play (Phantom of
the Opera is my personal favorite), I know I can keep working, ignore that
urge, and not waste a moment watching
these films. Why? Well, Swiss-born Michael Resin has wrapped up all of these
‘desires’ in his brand new album (Released September 1st, 2015) by
Bongo Boy Records and it is absolute magic to the ears! And all I have to do is
hit the ‘play’ button on my laptop and I am in ‘my zone’. It is just that
fabulous.
Heart-wrenching,
languid, and sincere lyrics in absolutely every track elicit something deep
within and I believe that this is the Artist’s goal as is suggested by the
Album title: ‘Emotion Sickness’. I have been privy to listen to most of Resin’s
tracks prior to the album release and I have to say that he has created a truly
beautiful album which touches on every emotion of the human heart: sadness,
desire, passion, frustration, anger, depression, and desperation. In life we
all have emotions that we must face and/or conquer and the emotions derived
from Love, Fear, Desperation, Desolation, and Circumstance is exactly what
Resin has created: and he hits the nail on the proverbial head every single
time in every single song. This is created with not only his brilliant vocal
ability but also through gorgeous piano ballads that will truly pull at the
heartstrings. Vocals and instrumental combined, it is truly magic.
But let’s
talk about the song ‘Only Human’ for a moment here. After all, this was my very
first experience listening to Resin via Bongo Boy TV. His video for the song
was included in the episode I was reviewing and I remember that when the song
had ended, I hit rewind. Then I hit rewind again. Then once more. I was
absolutely blown away: I had never heard anything as beautiful as that song in
my lifetime. Audibly you can hear the European flair in his vocals which only
lend complete candor to this hauntingly beautiful song. ‘Only Human’ is truly, the jewel in this
albums crown.
Going deeper,
there are collaborations in this release including the lovely gentle lyrics of
French-born Betty Chrys in ‘Goodbye or Not’, a beautiful love duet (she has the
vocal ability of Barbara Streisand here in ‘The Way We Were’) which elicits the
struggles some couples face in their relationships: to go or to stay. Then
there is the collaboration with Benjamin Karmer (also French), in the song
‘Thousand Tears’ which speaks to the heart about loss and coping with grief and
Resin clearly and beautifully demonstrates in this ballad that it is perfectly
okay to ‘not hide’ these emotions (through tears) because it is human to grieve
in this way.
Other tracks
in the album such as ‘Paralyzed’, ‘What I Feel For You’, ‘Believe in Love,
‘Point of No Return’, ‘I’m Free’, and ‘Falling of Deaf Ears’ are also stunning
tracks and are consistent with the albums theme.
I am pretty
selective when it comes to what I put on my iPod these days (after all, they
can only hold so many songs right?) and I listen to hundreds of different
genres and songs and artists every week. But with all due respect, this is an
album which WILL be playing on my laptop steadily as I work. It has inspired
me, lifted my spirits, understood my own struggles in life, and has brought me
back to the very beginning, only several months ago when I first heard the
enchanting vocals of Michael Resin. And that is the point dear readers: when an
Artist leaves that kind of impression, they have succeeded in their creation as
a truly gifted Artist. Make no mistake about it, Michael Resin, is that Artist.
This album
is Starlight Music Chronicles approved! Well Done!
