Mike Zito "Today"
Source: Radio Feedback
Writer: various |
This new album will be a radio hit as Mike Zito has all the potential needed to become a star. He’s got the looks, kick ass attitude and plenty of talent. After just a few bars of the opening cut I knew that I am in for a treat. Mike can sing his soul out, no doubt about that. His voice has that smoky quality that makes it so memorable. Plus, the album is full of great songs for his vocal delivery to shine. “Love Like This”, “Superman”, I could easily point out all 13 cuts as there is no weak track here. And the coolest thing about this new release is the huge crossover potential it has. You can play all those songs in MTV and people will go nuts. Zito’s melodies are catchy but never fell into cliché territories. Together with first class musicianship and arrangements “Today” will gather a lot of positive feedback and I am sure about that. I really hope that younger audiences will reach for this CD and get the taste of GOOD, man-made music. You can call it singer/songwriter, you can call it adult alternative or pop-blues, but the only fitting description is smokin’ hot!

I became an instant fan of Mike Zito upon hearing "Love Like This". I knew I needed to hear more and learn more about this Zito guy. His soulful voice has a hint of John Haitt to it. Be sure to check out Zito's version of "Little Red Corvette"...It is smokin' hot!

Mike Zito's "Today" is a record you wished you'd heard a long time ago. Where has this cat been hiding? His souful vocals are drenched with feeling and his treatment of "Little Red Corvette" surpasses the original (yes!). Zito plays guitar the way he sings - with assurance and color.
