CLOSED-Five for Fighting “Slice” Review & Autographed Cd Giveaway

I got a chance to listen to Five for Fighting’s newly released cd “Slice”, thanks to One2OneNetwork. Wow, of the cds I’ve reviewed recently, this one is my favorite hands down, it’s awesome!

About the Singer
“Singer/songwriter John Ondrasik has spent the past decade writing deeply personal songs that include social messages, invoke the human spirit and make an emotional connection. This can be heard on the past four albums by Five For Fighting, the band name under which he records and performs. Five For Fighting’s breakthrough came in 2001 with the Grammy-nominated song “Superman” from the Platinum certified “America Town” (Aware/Columbia) Cd. Already climbing the charts prior to 9/11, “Superman” went on to have a life of his own, becoming a song of healing for the nation. John joined superstar musicians for the now legendary post 9/11 fundraiser The Concert For New York, which paid tribute to all the firefighters, police officers and paramedics affected by the events of September 11th. Ondrasik’s relationship with those survivors and families has led to life-changing experiences and celebrated philanthropic work for the singer, who has since performed USO concerts around the world. His audiences have included General David Petraeus and the National Guardsmen at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. Ondrasik also conceived and produced For the Troops, a series of compilations featuring superstar recording artists that are available for free to every active service member in the U.S. Armed Forces (the forthcoming collection, For The Troops III, will feature comedians exclusively). Ondrasik’s charity work doesn’t stop there. His site HERE collects money for various charities.”

I loved “Slice” and was so impressed with not only Ondrasik’s soaring voice, but his intelligent, poetic lyrics. I especially enjoyed “Chances”, “Tuesday” and “Slice”. There wasn’t a single song on this album that I did not thoroughly enjoy. The quality of the music just left me totally blown away.
