 "Ryan Engelbrecht" CD showcases a superb young man's talent and abilities far-reaching beyond his years. The music and production nicely back the CDs showcase - Ryan's powerful vocals. As a songwriter, this "popera" star is headed in the right direction with his Latin-inspired composition "Tu." We cannot wait to hear more of his original compositions including his current project, a full-length opera. The elegant, strong, smooth, powerfully intimate Operatic "You Raise Me Up" and "To Where You Are" are standouts on this CD. As a baritone, Engelbrecht transfers smoothly and succinctly into an impressive falsetto to send chills down the spine. If you enjoy artists such as Josh Grobin, you will enjoy this CD. -Terri and the RadioIndy Team Check out Ryan Engelbrecht's music on RadioIndy.com with link to purchase and links to popular sites |
