Oh my goodness!!!! This album is impeccable. MiG's voice is that of an angel. I have to say, the 3 originals are my favourite, in particular "She Loved". I never realized that I loved some of these old songs- they sound like new songs!!!

I love this album and MiG is gorgeous!!!! Oh My Goodness!!!

You have to buy this album!!!!

Dani.

5.0 out of 5 stars MiG An incredible debut CD, April 12, 2007

MiG is definitely a notable artist. He has been writing music and performing for years. He has had an interesting career, including time spent as the lead in the London's We Will Rock You. Then he participated in the competition on CBS RockStar INXS and finished third. Many people including myself were disappointed because we felt he deserved to win but in the end we were the winners because MiG has now released his first CD self titled MiG.

MiG is an incredible CD from the rock classics such as Can't Find My Way Home through Wrapped Around Your Finger. The sound is lush with MiG's voice and the background orchestrations. Baby I Love Your Way is a special collaboration with MiG's voice and Peter Frampton's intricate guitar accompaniment, The original artists must be thrilled listening to the treatment their songs have received.

MiG is an accomplished songwriter also and has cowritten some of the songs with Matthew Wilder on the CD. The three original songs included in this CD are She Loved, You and I, and Could It Be. They are all amazing songs and help to illustrate MIG's true talent as a recording artist and singer songwriter. Refreshing in this are how the lyrics really mean something and I find I relate to the lyrics with my own experience.
Since listening to the CD, I find that I am singing or humming one or many of the songs daily. I wish I were more creative at describing just what a special CD this truly is. I hope you give it a listen. It is a real treat for the senses.

5.0 out of 5 stars MiG's debut album is velvety smooth!, April 10, 2007

MiG's self-titled debut CD is amazing. His voice and range bring a different element to these classics as does the re-worked orchestral arrangements.

I dare say that MiG's version of "Baby I Love Your Way" is better than the original and with Frampton featured on guitar this is sure to be a "new" classic. MiG's version of The Rolling Stone's "Angie" is heartbreakingly beautiful and MiG's cover of Queen's "Who Wants To Live Forever" blows me away. The orchestral arrangement and choir takes my breath away.

This is a concept album of classic rock songs and MiG has succeeded in breathing new life into them with his fresh interpretations on the originals. Since this was intended as a covers-only album, it is a testament to MiG's songwriting ability that 3 of his original tracks are included on this debut album. The single "She Loved" sounds like a sure fire hit as does "You And I" and "Could it Be" (my favorite original on the album). I know I just got this CD but it makes me yearn for the next CD...with MiG's vast vocal range and musical styles that include rock/soul/funk, I can't wait to see what he has in store for us on his next album!!
