난 처음 앨범 들었을 때, 브라운 스톤 노래를 리메이크 했구나 생각했는데 원작자였다니.
Stevie Wonder가 콘서트에서 'Let's get serious'를 부르는걸 유뷰트에서 본 적이 있는데,
같은 맥락 일까나 라는 느낌적인 느낌.
맨 첨 알게 된 것은 Soul 관련 컴필레이션 앨범에서 'To Love Again'을 듣고나서 였는데,
뒤에 이리저리 노래찾다가 아는 이름이 보이길래 들어본 것이 이 앨범.

이 오빠도 약간 소리반 공기반 보이스라는 느낌이라서 바람 많이 부는 일기에 더욱 어울린다는 생각적인 생각.
'Stay'나 'Get to Know'는 내가 좋아하는 '엄청 젠틀한데 막 첫눈에 어떤 여자한테 반한 남자'라서 애정합니다.
그런 남자는 언제나 옳다. 잘 없지만. 아니, 나한텐 없지만. (아 눈물)
'If You Love Me'는 Brownstone 버전도 좋지만, Gordon Chambers 나름대로 신선한 맛이 있다.
이 곡은 스튜디오 레코딩이 아닌지, 밴드 반주에 백보컬도 있고 현장감이 느껴지는데 그래서 더 매력적♥
오빠 브루클린 사시는 구나~ 잘 모르지만. 에헷.
변호사였는데 막 음악해. 근데 막 히트해. 근데 그래미 상 받았어. 우와우와-
쳇. 잘난남자 같으니. 쳇. 좋은 노래는 고맙지만. 쳇.
왠지 자존감이 낮아진 채 포스트를 마무리하게 되었다.
