The exceptionally talented Pop artist Avant has released him CD entitled My Thoughts. I am very confident and happy to announce that I believe Avant fans, and Pop fans alike will be pleased with this one. With the release of My Thoughts Avant's artistic excellence is on full display as Avant has once again delivered a brilliant collection of tracks that could very well be him best work to date.
Refreshingly, this was one of those CDs I was able to just pop in and comfortably listen to from beginning to end. Every track is enjoyable and was pretty easy for me to listen to from start to finish.
Pop music fans will recognize some of the well known guests that have been assembled to play along with Avant on several of the tracks. Artists like Steve Huff and Charles Willis just to name a couple.
If you're a Avant fan this is a CD your collection flat cannot be without. In fact, this is one of those CDs that you don't even have to be a fan of Avant, or even Pop to know is good. This is just good music. Period.
While the entire album is really very good some of my favorites are track 4 - Let's Make A Deal, track 7 - I Wanna Know, and track 12 - Why
My Bonus Pick, and the one that got Sore [...as in "Stuck On REpeat"] is track 1 - Separated. This is a great track!
