MUSIC FARMER 5 - Review by Wolf Georgia
From Cruise Blues to Melodic News: Les & Loretta Navigate Choppy Waters With Upbeat Anthem
In the vast cosmos of sound, few songs gleam with the luminescent charm and depth of emotion as California ™ featuring Les Fradkin's "Kiss Your Money And Your Dreams Goodbye". Like first light of dawn its refrain unfurls with epic vocal harmonies that are reminiscent of Paul McCartney's magic, and immediately, you are beguiled.
This mosaic of sounds - from playful toms that echo applause, to the tapestry of Les & Loretta's intertwined stories, harmonizes into an anthem that weaves hope with melancholy, resilience with disappointment. This piece isn't merely a song; it's a sonorous odyssey through the corridors of dreams, disillusionment, and indomitable spirit.
The real-life narrative of their cruise line frustration becomes a mirror reflecting larger societal woes, yet from this mirror jumps a clarion call to action, a protest that finds its zenith in a John Lennon-esque chant. When you hear, “Cancel the Cruise, Ain’t ya heard the news? Give us back our money, let us go where we choose…” it feels as though the very cosmos is reverberating with their plea, and you're beckoned to join this universal chorus.
Reflecting on Les Fradkin's illustrious legacy is akin to traversing a galaxy of musical constellations. From the starry nights of "Beatlemania" on Broadway to pioneering the futuristic MIDI guitar realm, his journey is a dance of stars and meteors. And now, with Loretta by his side, this track shines as their nova in the musical firmament.
What is utterly mesmerizing about this masterpiece is how it marries the golden age of Beatles-esque undertones with modern riffs and relevancies. It stands as a testament that true artistry is timeless, bound neither by past accolades nor current trends, but continually echoing through the ages, touching souls across eras.
