5.0 out of 5 stars An "Art of the Heart", August 1, 2004

This review is from: Your Love, My Home (Audio CD)

It seems a lot of people are recommending Joshua Payne to people who enjoy the sound of Josh Groban, which is bringing up a lot of comparisons between the two. But in the end, while Payne and Groban have similar traits in vocals, they hit two different places, so to speak. They land in different genres (though not entirely different), and there's no need to compare the two in the same way that there shouldn't be a comparison between Star Wars and Lord of the Rings or Titanic and Ocean's Eleven (or in the way these comparisons shouldn't be compared to the very first between the singers, if you catch my meaning). Payne and Groban both have beautiful voices, and listening to their music without trying to figure out which is better is the best way to go.

Either way, Payne's voice has much emotion (which is somewhat lacking in other music today) and heart behind it. This much is easy to tell, or was to me when I first heard it. I listened to bits of the music on his site and immediately fell in love with the smooth baritone and beautiful lyrics. Three of the songs can be recognized as others' off the bat ("If," "Let It Be Me," and "If You Leave Me Now"), but Payne wrote or co-wrote six of the others. The beauty of the music is how lyrical it is; it has a soothing, quiet feel and its moments of extra strength, such as in "Your Love, My Home." His guitar and piano playing adds to the mood and the sweet atmosphere. All in all, Payne's music is gorgeous on its own, no comparisons needed.

5.0 out of 5 stars After Reading Bio -- Even More Amazed at Ability, November 30, 2004

This review is from: Your Love, My Home (Audio CD)

After reading the bio of this young man on his official website (JoshuaPayne.com), I can only say, not only is he talented, but he has been tenacious in overcoming some huge difficulties. I would highly recommend this CD, especially if you are a Josh Groban fan.

Both Joshes have a "laid back" quality that makes for easily slipping into a state of complete relaxation. This CD does not have that relaxed feeling uprooted by gratuously inserting an occasional tune that would jerk the listener into a state of a more "energetic" state of mind.

However, please be aware that Mr. Payne's official site refers to him twice as a "baritone" (not a tenor), thus comparisons with Mr. Groban in this area are valid.

I hope you enjoy this new artist's efforts as much as I did. Music to meditate by. Wonderful.

5.0 out of 5 stars joshua is joshua, not josh but payne, July 24, 2004

This review is from: Your Love, My Home (Audio CD)

joshua payne is himself, an original, not a clone of anyone, simply himself. as such he's completely original, sincere and genuine - rare qualities in today's music scene. I say this after seeing him live at a showcase in New York a few months back.

forget the josh groban reference and wipe that away - just listen to these songs and how this guy sings. . . if you have a chance catch him live because he nails it live - no studio tricks were needed here. .
