...something you want to keep for yourself, so no one else will find out how good it is.

Product Description

Shimmer's rocked up Neo-Soul recalls the bygone era when pop wasn’t just marketing and rock wasn’t just posturing. With soulful vocals and tightly crafted, hook-laden songs, Shimmer’s self-titled debut is refreshingly classic. Bare, no frills production and forceful, rockin’ beats give rise to a "roll your windows down" sexy dance-rock romp. With nods to the likes of Soul greats Al Green and Prince and Pop icons Bowie, Costello, and Michael, at it’s core Shimmer just sounds like a great beat and a guy singing his ass off. Made by hot indie production duo The A-Team (Tennis Pro, Joel R.L. Phelps, Holly Figueroa, Edie Carey, and Weather).

5.0 out of 5 stars Just in time for summer, May 27, 2005

This record is fantastic from start to finish! My personal favorite song is "Sweet Love", although "Don't Trip on Your Way Out" is a sure hit, and Shimmer's version of "Like a Feather" gives Nikka Costa a run for her money. The record will not disappoint even the most finicky music critic - everyone's certain to enjoy it.

This review is from: Shimmer (Dig) (Audio CD)

I picked this up at my local used store for (in the end was free due to discounts) $4.99. It was a deal no matter what! I guess i was attracted by the cover, and then gave it a listen in-store to sample tracks, and for buying it on a whim, i really like it! It usually takes me awhile to commit to buying a CD, but this is well worth it. There's a lot of talent here (reminds me of Maroon 5 or Robin Thicke at times), and i wonder what ever happened to these guys... Either way, pick up the album that pop-rock fans may have missed out on!

This band, by far, is one of the greats of the recent release field. Poppy-rock is what I would like to refer the sound to. Don't be afraid to grab this one off the shelves it is well worth the money and a piece to keep in your collection for a lifetime. My senses were instantly appealed and I felt as if the lyrics pulled most anyone in for a roller-coaster ride throughout the album. If it doesn't strike your fancy listen to it again and decide then.
