Editorial Reviews

Product Description
Joey McIntyre is a modern throwback to the classic song-and-dance men of show business, a veteran who has starred on Broadway (in "Wicked") and off (Jonathan Larson's "tick, tick, Boom!"), TV (Dancing with the Stars, Boston Public), film (Tony and Tina's Wedding, The Fantasticks), records (selling 35 million as the youngest New Kid on the Block and a hit solo single, "Stay the Same") and the concert stage. Inspired to do the album by seeing Frank Sinatra perform at L.A.'s Greek Theater just a few years before the legendary crooner's death, McIntyre covers these songs "his way." "This is the music I grew up listening to," he says. "These songs are still so fresh. We tried to respect where they came from, but also give it a modern pop sensibility that reflects the times. It's not a throwback. This record is essentially who I am." McIntyre performed several of the songs from the album during the 38-city Dancing with the Stars--The Tour. "I always wanted to study dance and the show was like going to school. I really learned ballroom dancing. I knew I'd be able to perform before millions of people. I just didn't know it would be 20 million." On Talk to Me, he leads with a firm right hand straight to your heart, launching the next round of his career as a 21st century song and dance man.

By	L. A. Malone "Brave Heart" (Upstate, NY) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

In this latest album McIntyre pays homage to his boyhood idol Frank Sinatra. By finally recording an album of standards he also does his father proud! Long ago, in another life, Joey McIntyre was the baby faced member of THE original boy band, "New Kids on the Block". When that group parted ways after a decade of mega stardom Joey took time to return to his acting roots before returning to the record business. In 1999 he sealed his fate as a pop artist with a solo release that got air play across the country, sold well and put him back on the map and on our TV sets climbing the TRL charts. Subsequent albums did not get as much attention but "Talk to Me" puts him back on the map. McIntyre covers classics like "All the Way" and "My Funny Valentine" with ease. His respect for the music is tangible. Joey also takes a light hearted approach to tunes such as "Makin' Whoopee" and "Come Dance With Me" which are stamped with his unique sense of style. With this release, a whole new generation of listeners has a chance to embrace this sound! Long time fans will not be disappointed and new listeners will no doubt be pleasantly surprised. In my opinion this album is McIntyre at his best!

By	Music Lover "Music Lover" (California, USA) - See all my reviews

Having been a fan of Joey since the way old days of NKOTB and his solo efforts, I must say that this cd will erase all notions that he is still a teeny bopper! His take on the old standards are all well orchestrated....his voice is smooth sounding and the production is very impressive! This cd should bring him more attention, credit, kudos and more fans! Way to go, J!!!!!!!!
