"Big Mike" Lynche after his 90 pound weight loss |
I have been an "off and on" American Idol fan for years and I have found sometimes the contestants don't really pan out as great singers on or off the show. But after listening to season nine finalist Michael Lynche's self-titled debut album, I think I need to give American Idol another try because this album is wonderful.
The talented singer/songwriter co-wrote twelve of the thirteen tracks on the album and explains, "The theme of the album is love. I've crafted different songs that encompass love in its many components."
Michael co-wrote "Who's Gonna Love You More" with Jason Pennock (Babyface, Far East Movement, Natasha Bedingfield) and Jamie Jones (Michelle Williams, The Pussycat Dolls) who also produced the track, and co-wrote the inspirational and uplifting "Today," a thoughtful introspective song.
I would suggest getting in a comfy chair with your favorite drink and putting on a pair of headphones to listen to this album from start to end. Michael's control while singing is superior. Some songs I did not like as much as others - like "Crazy Gina." My favorite song on the album is "Fragile" - I have it on repeat. I predict it will be played at a lot of weddings as will a few more of his songs.
The well-rounded collection features an original version of Kate Bush's classic, "This Woman's Work," the same song Michael advanced as a front-runner in the competition after bringing one of the judges to tears during his performance.
Here is a list of the "Michael Lynche" Tracks:
1. Crazy Gina
2. Intoxicated
3. Who's Gonna Love You More
4. Speechless
5. Love is You
6. Fragile
7. Lovers Symphony

9. This Woman's Work
10. Baby Boo
11. Today
12. Somebody Save Me
13. Unstoppable
