Greetings to all my devoted readers and music connoisseurs welcome to our blog. Let’s welcome Robert McGinty. On 14th February, he released a 13-song album called “Reflections”. Let’s talk more about this album
The title track is called “Reflections”. The song opens with playful and excited piano notes. As the song goes on, the notes expand and accommodate the rest of the beautiful notes. This is the kind of song you will like to hear when you wake up from bed. It is playful and hopeful and it can evoke deep and profound reflections. This song was the best taste for listeners to get a sense of the album
The next song on the bill is “The Brightness of the Morning”. The song opens with bright piano notes. The notes are rounded and non glacial but the title fits because this song is truly the music embodiment of the brightness of the morning. The time of day when you can see the sun spread out its golden arms.
“Ballade à l’amour” is the next song. The song opens with soft piano notes and is later fused with these very beautiful violin sounds. The song translates to the ballad of love and it couldn’t be more right. This is the song you would want to have in your repertoire when you are planning a special date for your partner. The song also reminds me of that part in a k drama when the two main characters realize they are in love or when the male/ female character is saved or shows any type of affection
Next is the song “The Elysian Slumber”. This song opens with very glacial and unique piano notes. This song is so moving and so beautifully performed. This song was vulnerable and emotive. Watch out, you might shed a tear like I did
Next up is the song “The Whisper on the Wind”. The song opens with beautiful flute sounds. The flute is incredibly beautiful and it takes you on a wonderful emotive journey, one note at a time
Next up is “ebbing tides”. The song is very exciting. It makes you feel like you’re at a ball, dancing and flirting with your partner, much like Bridgerton. This song is exciting and you will fall in love with its pace and intensity
Next up is “whimsical waltz”. This song is a waltz song and you can hear it the minute the song starts. This song really made me want to be a debutante and dance the waltz to your heart’s content. It was a very beautiful song and it was very exciting
“Attending the celebrations” is the next song on the record. This song opens with a very beautiful flute performance. The song has a very exciting pacing and you will be thrilled with the performance
The next song is called “Encantada”. This song opens with a very Latin-influenced guitar melody. Did I want to do the tango? Yes, I did. Will you want to do the tango too? Yes you will
Up next is “Tales by the Campfire”. This song starts off high energy with a very danceable and foot-tapping melody. The guitar work is definitely the highlight of this song and it takes you to a very carefree place to just let loose and have some fun
Next is the “ragtime special”. This song is the kind of song you will hear when you go to a lounge to take music in. This song will go perfectly with tap dancing and I am not ashamed to say that I tried tap dancing for the first time in my life. I was terrible at it but that is beside the point because I had so much fun
The last song on the album is called “The Roadrunner Does Jazz”. Remember the Roadrunner cartoon? The bird was always one step ahead of the coyote who was hunting him. This bird was super fast and so was this song. It is very fast-paced exactly like the Roadrunner would have performed it which is incredibly interesting and nostalgic. This amazing song closes the album
This album was more than an instrumental album. Listeners get a taste of so many genres in one. This was a packed album with heavy hitters in it. I was so amazed and excited by this album but, don’t just take my word for it, listen and have so much fun as I did
