I wish it weren't the case but, it's not everyday that I get a CD from an artist that I can just pop in and comfortably listen to from beginning to end. There is usually a song or two that I just can't force myself to get through. Not at all the case with Confidential. Every track is enjoyable and was pretty easy for me to listen to from start to finish.
These days it's a very rare CD on which every single song is good or better than the one before it. This CD is certainly one of those rare CDs.
Smooth Jazz music fans will recognize some of the well known guests that have been assembled to play along with White on several of the tracks. Artists like Christopher Cross and Mindi Abair just to name a couple.
If you're a Peter White fan, or just a fan of Smooth Jazz music this is a CD your collection simply should not be without.
Listen to this CD and I believe you'll find there's not much to dis-like about it. The songs are inspired, the production is simply outstanding, and Peter White is clearly in top form. So much so that if you're even mildly into Smooth Jazz music you'll enjoy this CD.
While the entire CD is really very good the truly standout tunes are track 2 - Talkin' Bout Love, track 3 - How Does It Feel, and track 6 - Lost Without Your Love.
My SmoothLee Bonus Pick, and the one that got Sore [...as in "Stuck On REpeat"] is track 9 - Jump On It. Wow!
