I think Clay Aiken's Tried and True is going to be the surprise hit of the year. These songs lend themselves to his strong vocals and delivery. Clay is finally singing the songs he wants to sing and the result is awesome!!! I hope everybody gives this CD a listen! They won't be disappointed.

ReplyDeleteSue said right, this will be the surprise hit of the year. Go Clay Go.
For some strange reason I received this CD ahead of time from Amazon......all I can say is that it is just first class. His voice is front and center and for those who just enjoy great music and great songs you can't go wrong. Best of luck Clay with this beautiful album.
ReplyDeleteThis is my kind of music. Classic songs that are sung to perfection by Clay Aiken. I have listened to quite a few snippets of these songs and I really liked the jazzy style that he has put into this CD. Will be buying it for sure.
ReplyDeleteYou can hear snippets at Amazon. That is where i found it otherwise I did not know he had a cd coming out. Sounds pretty good.
ReplyDeleteI've heard a preview of this CD and it's Clay Aiken at his best. Clay's voice fits these songs like a glove. Anyone who loves timeless classics is sure to really enjoy this CD.
ReplyDeletecan't wait In the beginning i hesitate to listen to these old songs but now i can't seem to stop listening to the snippets
ReplyDeleteIts impossible- is so overheard but i do not know how -but i can't stop humming it. Clay's voice somehow made these old songs sound so new
he would be perfect for Glee
It is just too impossible not to like it
Clay Aiken has made me a lover of songs that
ReplyDeleteI never thought I would listen to,excited to
hear the rest of them.
Heard many of these songs at a concert taped for PBS and this CD sure won't disappoint!! Can't wait for its release tomorrow! Thanks for all the info. and for featuring the video of my favorite Clay performance on AI!!
ReplyDeleteI am very excited about this CD. From all the clips I have heard the sound is amazing and Clay's voice is perfect for this type of music.

What I've heard so far is awesome. Can't wait for midnight so I can download the whole album from iTunes.
ReplyDeleteI've heard samples of these songs on several media sites and was astonished at how wonderful they sounded. Clay has a superb voice and the orchestration is amazing by allowing the vocals to shine encased in these beautiful melodies.
ReplyDeleteI've listened to the snippets from the various sites, thanks to TPTB we have a lot of snippets I think there are 13 or 14 songs depending on the particular version of album, and his voice is perfect. He seems very happy and satisfied with the album, his management and label, and the direction he's taking. He's been tried so many times that I don't think he "gives a damn" about being kewl or what the critics think.
ReplyDeleteI was lucky enough to be at the taping for his PBS special! My goodness, his voice was even more amazing than when he was on American Idol.
ReplyDeleteI think people are going to be truly amazed with this CD - and I can hardly wait to see the PBS show. I was there, and still am excited to see it on TV.
Rock on Clay!!
After hearing the cd snippets, I'm so excited I can't stand it.
ReplyDeleteThe snippets I have heard of this CD are amazing. This guy has a stunning voice.
ReplyDeletei too have been listening to the snippets, and i cannot wait to get this cd!
ReplyDeleteI am looking forwards to June 1st. so I can get muy hands on Clay Aiken's wonderful Tries and True CD, I have heard the snippets and they are great!
ReplyDeleteI love his voice and I am looking forward to this new CD. Clay will always be my favorite from American Idol. His voice is amazing. A naturally gifted vocalist and performer.
ReplyDeleteI saw the video by International Media that is on Itunes, and WOW! The voice sounds better than ever, and the orchestration is superb.
ReplyDeleteI will be buying this Cd this week also.
From what I have heard, not only is the voice fantastic, the arrangements and orchestration are superb.
ReplyDeleteA fan since his audition on American Idol. I'm excited about his new CD. I know it will be amazing!!
ReplyDeleteThanks Front Stage for this posting. Clay Aiken's vocals and the orchestration are amazing on this CD. Bravo Decca! Bravo Clay Aiken!
ReplyDeleteI'm excited about this new CD...it's just the kind of music Clay loves and what his voice is best suited for (although he can sing anything well!) If the snippets are any indication, this CD is going to be amazing. Way to go, Clay.
ReplyDeleteHearing a couple of the full songs, has just wetted my appetite for the whole CD!! Heard Clay sing these songs, LIVE at the PBS Specia..unbelievable!! Clay and Decca are a perfect match!!!!
ReplyDeleteWaited a long time for the CD release, and tomorrow's the big day. The snippets I've heard have just been a teaser for what's to come. I can't wait to get Tried and True. Thanks to Decca for recognizing what a treasure they have in Clay Aiken.
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to get my copy of Clay's new cd. Finally :) Thank you for giving Clay a shout out!
ReplyDeleteThank you, finally Clay is due his time. Can't wail to get my copy of this new CD. Thank you again for this teasure.

ReplyDeleteI heard the entire version of Unchained Melody. It's like a sonic boom of beauty and power. Can't wait to hear the whole cd.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the article on Clay's new cd.
ReplyDeleteEager to listen to the whole cd after hearing the previews.
Clay's voice and the orchestration are stunning.
I am so looking forward to this CD. I have loved all Clay's previous music, but this one just seems special. It's right down Clay's alley and what he's been wanting to sing since AI.. and you can tell. ;D
ReplyDeleteThe snips are fantastic! Tomorrow's the BIG DAY! I finally will hear all the songs in their entirety! You go, Clay!
ReplyDeleteCan not wait for this CD. Thanks for the good review. He has been doing great with reviews this time around. Maybe having a record label that believes in you really helps. RCA could take some lessons from Decca.
ReplyDeleteThis is Clay at his absolute best with the accompaniment that does justice to his voice without overpowering it.
ReplyDeleteI think it is literally going to knock the socks off people. And Randy's comment "Where is that voice coming from?" is one that comes to mind now more than ever before.
Knock 'em dead, Clay. You're the best!
Do you folks have a base of operation somewhere? :D
ReplyDeleteIf so, you should practice not sounding like uber-fans.
I can hardly wait for the new Clay Aiken CD. I love his remarkable voice, and the songs he has chosen to sing. I know he will make each song his own. Thank you for this nice article.
ReplyDeleteAlways knew he had an outstanding voice, but the snippets have blown me away. Will definitely purchase the cd tomorrow, and am looking forward most to Unchained Melody and Crying. Hope he has a huge hit, as he is an incredible artist.
ReplyDeletedid the same person write all these phoney sounding comments??
ReplyDeleteClay is AMAZING and TALENTED singer!!!!! Can't wait for the new CD!
ReplyDeleteFans usually write nice comments about the artist they support. Is this a new concept to you?
ReplyDeleteCan't wait for midnight!
Love Clay,Love his amazing voice.Can't wait to hear the full CD.
ReplyDeleteI'm listening to this album now.
ReplyDeleteWow! Unchained Melody is amazing!
I've never heard him sound better on a recording! The arrangements are beautiful. I love the big band sound on many of the songs. This is by far his best album!
Maybe Clay will finally get the recognition that he deserves. That powerhouse voice does these songs more than justice. To me they are better than the originals and if you like the cd, you'll love him in person. One of the few artists that sounds even better in person. A true song stylist.
ReplyDeleteI bet he has a #1 with "Can't Take My Eyes Off of You" :)))
ReplyDelete#1 HIT -- ahhh so excited for this CD I forgot a word. ;)
ReplyDeletejust downloaded it from Itunes. WOW!!!!!
ReplyDeleteMr. Aiken at his best. It is wonderful!!!
Thankyou Decca.
I just downloaded this CD from iTunes and am blown away by the incredible talent and not only Clay's. His vocals are better than ever, just sublime and the orchestration is just as wonderful. I didn't know I could love this music but every song is just so alive with talent and artistry. Crying is my favorite, so far. how does he sing like this? The dude is incredibly gifted.
ReplyDeleteI'm listenin g to Tried and True downloading it from iTunes! Yes I'm an Uber fan! If you'd listen to his pure and powerful voice you'd know why! Every song on this CD is a winner. Thanks to Vince Gill, David Sandborn, and Linda Eber for contributing! Applause to Decca records!
