Thank you and thank you, Monique.
Clay Aiken’s new cd, Tried and True, is another successful notch in the American Idol runner-up’s belt. Admittedly, since I’m from Birmingham, AL, most of my attention was focused on Ruben Studdard during his and Clay’s time on the show, but now that all of the hoopla is over, I have to say that Clay Aiken’s instrument is one that deserves all of the accolades he’s received over the years.
In all of the songs on Tried and True, comprised of collection of iconic songs from the ‘50s and ‘60s, you can hear how Aiken’s voice has grown, probably due to his tenure on Broadway in Spamalot. He sounds clear, commanding during each of his performances on the cd, never succumbing to the lush, big-band production. But when the song calls for it, like “It’s Impossible”, the control he has over his voice allows him to sound fragile and vulnerable, letting raw emotion seep in.
Overall, this album is one that a hardcore Clay Aiken fan needs in their collection, but if you just happen to be a lover of beautiful songs sung well, then this album won’t disappoint.
