Our Take
Our Take
Alexander Armstrong brings a whole new meaning to the term "classical crossover" with his latest release "Upon A Different Shore." Known for his comedic talents on TV, Armstrong now proves he's no one-trick pony as he delves into the world of music with surprising finesse.
From the opening notes of the title track, it's clear that Armstrong is not content to simply rest on his laurels. With his smooth vocals and elegant arrangements, he effortlessly blends classical influences with modern pop sensibilities. Tracks like "Weep No More" and "Somewhere Out There" showcase his vocal range and emotional depth, while the playful "The Harbour Lights" is a toe-tapping delight.
But it's not all smooth sailing on this album. While Armstrong's vocals are undeniably impressive, some of the arrangements can feel a bit safe and predictable. The orchestration at times veers dangerously close to elevator music territory, lacking the edge and urgency that can elevate good music to greatness.
Overall, "Upon A Different Shore" is a solid effort from Armstrong, showcasing his versatility and talent as a musician. While it may not reinvent the wheel, it's a pleasant listen that will surely appeal to fans of both classical and pop music. So grab a cup of tea, sit back, and let Alexander Armstrong whisk you away to a different shore. Cheers, mate!
