5.0 out of 5 stars Even better than Kurt's debut...and that was 5-star!, December 28, 2004

I really wish Amazon.com had song clips up, so folks who've not heard Kurt could hear his amazing voice and songwriting talent. His second album "Part of Me" is more acoustic, a bit more mellow than his rock-infused debut "I", but this latest effort is such a work of art, so beautiful to listen to, that it has now become my fave record of Kurt's. Stunning guitar work, great emotional depth to his lyrics and his delivery of songs like faves "My Street", "Part of Me", and the hauntingly beautiful "For You", a simple yet powerful ballad that is 100% Kurt.

This is the perfect album for getting mellow, for sipping tea or wine on a winter's day, looking out your window at falling snow. Kurt Nilsen's "Part of Me" is in constant rotation in my home. It is definitely my favorite album of the year, without a doubt...and I wish I could give it 6 stars or more. Please Amazon.com, get some song clips up on your site so your customers can discover Kurt Nilsen!

5.0 out of 5 stars Very different from the first album, February 22, 2006

I was really taken by Kurt during the televised World Idol competition on TV and pursued his first CD very persistently until I was finally able to get it (it wasn't available in the US for a long time). I really liked it a lot. But I love this album. The first one was excellent pop music. This one is personal. Listening to the mournful words and delicate, sad melodies, I had a feeling something had gone wrong in Kurt's personal life to generate these tunes. On his website, a note near the bottom states that Kurt's relationship of 11 years with the mother of his two children didn't make it through his rise to world notice. He has turned his personal grief into beautiful, moving music that continues to pull me; I listen to this album just about every day and I am not the kind of person that usually does that. I just keep wanting to hear these lovely songs one more time. And Kurt's voice...well, if you're bothering to read this far, maybe you, too, are already a fan of his incredible voice. He has a unique tone that just kills me and he knows how to use it; he is so expressive and seems in total control of the effects he's creating with his voice. I just love him. Can't say enough good things about this album.

5.0 out of 5 stars Better than the First, June 25, 2005

This is a great album. I liked Kurt's first CD but this is very, very good. I think Kurt's found his element. His voice is in great form and he sounds extremely comfortable singing his songs. Recommended buy.
