Title: Ruben Sounds Great , But Poor Production
Review: If you're a fan of a certain TV show, then you know these two songs well. FLYING WITHOUT WINGS is an original tune, and it sounds pretty good. The tone of the song is somewhat gospel-tinged, which really suits Ruben's rich voice. SUPERSTAR is a better song - essentially a remake of Luther Vandross' remake of the Carpenters song. On both songs, Ruben sounds terrific, although his voice is a touch raspy (no doubt he was overtaxed from all the singing they made him do). Unfortunately, the production sounds like it was a bit thrown together. The background music sounds too much like a cheap tinkly piano, and it really lets Ruben down. Big thumbs up for Ruben and I'm looking forward to his full-length CD. Let's just hope that he gets better producers next time.
