5.0 out of 5 stars Tommy makes love hit you hard., April 8, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Paintings in My Mind (Audio CD)

I think that this was one of the most romantic albums I have ever experienced. Tommy Page knows the right words to say and his song can make you visualize occurences in our own lives. "Your the best thing" is a song i will keep with me for the rest of my life..its was an "our" song one of the first songs I slow danced to with my ex and he said the right things and put you into the right mood to be moved so much. Continue it with his song "Paintings in my mind". I am sorry to see that Tommy Page isn't making albums anymore..I feel there is still an audience in the USA and around the world for him..why? because he makes love hit hard...his songs , his sound , touches you and makes u move forward and go backwards in thought for the past, and current relationships you hold. I feel he also gives u thought for the future..Lets hope he surprises us one day. I write lyrics/music myself and I would be proud top feature any of Tommy's songs on a future album of mine...I feel we blend in our music and meaning. Don't miss out on any of his albums...It will be worth every penny! If ever my special love was out there reading this review..remember Tommy's songs hold us still, though we are apart the memories are relived in his music.

4.0 out of 5 stars "Page 2", February 27, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Paintings in My Mind (Audio CD)

This is the album that turned Tommy Page into the teen idol he was in the late 80's. Following the success of his first major hit "A Shoulder To Cry On", Tommy opted for more of a 'balladeer' role on this, his second release. Although the first single "I'll Be Your Everyting" would become his biggest hit ever, this album was not quite as striking as the first one. Follow up singles "When I Dream Of You" and "Turn On The Radio" failed to achieve the same success as the first.

In my opinion, some of the stronger material on the album were songs that were never singles (at least not here in the US anyway). The duet "Don't Give Up On Love" could have easily been a big hit, (I believe it was, in Japan), so then could have the heart-wrenching "Just Before (I Was Gonna Say I Love You), the upbeat "Don't Walk Away", and the poetic title track. The success of this album catapulted tommy to world-wide fame. Unfortunately here in the states he had one more album, the ill-fated 'From The Heart', then he vanished from the music scene. I have heard that his music is alive and well in Japan, maybe even in other countries, but his US fans will just have to settle for the 3 albums released here.

2.0 out of 5 stars Generic Early 90s White R&B, August 15, 2007

Tommy Page...known to many of us in the late-80s and early-90s as "THE SIXTH NEW KID" for his frequent hob-nobbing with New Kids On The Block.

His music is pretty bland r&b and pop. Not offensive by any means, but not very noteworthy, either.

Tommy guest starred in several NKOTB videos, appeared at many of their concerts, and had New Kids show up in his videos and do background vocals on some of his album tracks.
