While Cincotti is considered to be a singer/songwriter, he only wrote three of the songs on this record, and on those enlisted the help of his mom and sister for lyrics. But musically there is no denying the brilliance of this young star. “I Changed the Rules” is an upbeat jazz piece ala Harry Connick Jr., and “Are You the One?” and “Lovers, Secrets, Lies” are the other original songs, both slower mood pieces with great feel. “Comes Love” is an old standard and bears the witty message that you can beat things in everyday life such as a flat tire or a headache, but have no recourse against the power of love. “Sway” is a Latin-flavored standard, and Cincotti blended two cover songs together with “Fool on the Hill/Nature Boy.” The haunting melody of “Come Live Your Life with Me” did not have lyrics in “The Godfather,” but when Cincotti found out the song had words he had to record it. There is also a terrific instrumental of the Blood, Sweat and Tears classic, “Spinning Wheel.” The last track on the album, “Rainbow Connection,” is perhaps the best one here and was taken from “The Muppets.” While Cincotti admits that no one can sing the song like Kermit the Frog, he puts forth a great effort of a very touching song, one that he recently played live on an episode of “The Young & The Restless.” After hearing this record a few times, it’s pretty clear that this kid will be around for a while. The talent of Peter Cincotti and his band shines through the whole record and there is a nice balance of standards and originals, up-tempo songs and ballads. This type of music is great for a Sunday morning, but Cincotti’s debut is simply great for any time of day, any day of the week. ~Mike Farley mfarley@bullz-eye.com
