[ Vinyl ]

Ah, Todd Rundgren, the musical chameleon who never fails to surprise. His latest release, "A Cappella (Orange Vinyl) (RSD 2025)", is no exception. This album sees Rundgren stripping away all instruments, leaving only his voice to carry the melodies. From the moment the needle hits the grooves of this vibrant orange vinyl, it's clear that Rundgren is taking a bold leap into uncharted territory. The opening track, "Hello, It's Me (A Cappella)", showcases Rundgren's impressive vocal range and knack for harmonies. As the album progresses, Rundgren continues to dazzle with intricate vocal arrangements and catchy hooks. Standout tracks like "Can We Still Be Friends (A Cappella)" and "I Saw the Light (A Cappella)" prove that Rundgren's talent knows no bounds. However, there are moments where the lack of instrumental backing leaves the listener yearning for more. Songs like "Bang the Drum All Day (A Cappella)" and "Love is the Answer (A Cappella)" feel slightly incomplete without the signature Rundgren guitar riffs. Overall, "A Cappella (Orange Vinyl) (RSD 2025)" is a quirky and captivating listen that showcases Rundgren's vocal prowess. While it may not be his most groundbreaking work, it's certainly a unique addition to his discography.
