Editorial Reviews

Raul Midon brings a vibrant sound steeped in classic soul to the pop arena, because pop is where a singer and a song can have the biggest and most widespread impact. When an envelope-pushing song becomes a pop hit, it shifts the entire musical landscape, forcing out the shopworn and clich‚d while opening the windows of change to let in fresh ideas. The notion of shifting the landscape is this artist's passion; the wide-ranging skill sets he brings to bear on his mission provide him with the tools to pull it off.

5.0 out of 5 stars Another Smash Hit by Raul Midon!, September 27, 2007

Raul Midon has stepped up to a new level with his newest CD 'A World Within a World'. Just when you wanted more after his previous CD 'State of Mind', Raul delivers it with an awsome array of genres.

From the 1st song 'Pick Somebody Up' (ringtone for my cellphone) to 'Peace On Earth', Raul runs the gamut of pop & soul that easily evokes the emotions that music should produce. Because each song is so uniquely exquisite you start to wonder why everyone has not heard of Raul Midon.

Do you want real value for your money? Buy this CD, for yourself or as a gift. You wont be disappointed!

5.0 out of 5 stars Midon graces us with songs from his corner of the 'World'..., October 4, 2007

For me, Raul Midon is (without question) one of the most talented and underrated performers around today. Comparable to great singers like Donny Hathaway, Stevie Wonder and Jose Feliciano, Midon takes us all on a glorious musical journey, on A WORLD WITHIN A WORLD. His influences are rooted in many genres of music, yet, his sound is truly distinctive. These sounds include r&b/soul ("Pick Somebody Up," the first track, is a great example of this), folk ("Save My Life"), and South American rhythms ("Tembererana," and "Caminando"). Of course, to describe merely the sound of his tunes only skims the surface of his depth, as a musican. His lyrics are pure poetry. They are filled with messages about society ("All the Answers," an ode to the age of blackberries, cell phones and instant gratification in the 21st century), love ("Save My Life"), social responsability in the face of injustice ("Tembererana") and mourning ("Song For Sandra").

A WORLD WITHIN A WORLD is Raul Midon's third and best album, to date, in my opinion. It is amazing to me that not more people know this man's name by now! Midon is incomparable and truly a visionary poet who sets his imagery to music. Support him and I guarantee that this album will make you a fan.
