Can
some popular Filipino pop ballads from the 1980’s and 1990’s create
that romantic evening with your special someone? Love is such an
exciting feeling that should be celebrated and decorated with words and
feelings and David’s tribute of “Forevermore” to the Filipino writers
give you a musical ecstasy you won’t forget.
Love
songs have a way of capturing the heart and soul of our emotions and
David’s vocal talent really rises to a vocal masterpiece of emotion.
This love song declares his undying affection; this song inspires you
to love. Musically, this song is choice, striking, moving and full of
emotion.
As
soon as he is heard your breath quickens and a smile appears. Within a
fleeting moment his music connects you to our emotions and your heart
goes on a journey to the moon.
Romance
isn’t always about diamonds and roses sometimes it’s as simple as
honesty and sincerity. David’s singing is modest and magical and his
love for music is tangible.
David
envelopes each phrase with nimble precision, nuance and with his
beautiful voice and sexy dimples he aims at your heart. He can find a
personality in a song and make it his own.
His
plush flow of his vibrato vocal cords and his sultry vocals are strong
and right on pitch. His phrasing is crisp and he rides the melodies
with perception with a silky sensuous sound.
David
is boyishly handsome yet there is a maturity about David that holds
adults as well as older teens and his voice and presence seems to stir
the romantic imagination of his fans.
His
voice is like no other, his technique is masterful, and has a unique
quality that is engaging. He just opens his mouth and beautiful sounds
come out without relying on gimmicks. David’s singing brings out the
romantic streak that is deep down inside all of us.
His
Press Release Dated March 9, 2012 from Ivory Music & Video
stated, “The album pays tribute to not only OPM but also to his
countless fans who have been loyal throughout his career. The album is a
gift & labor of love to his devoted fans. David wants his fans
to know that he loves and appreciates them wherever he may go.
Forevermore.”
One hopes that after his two year Mission he returns to music, the sooner, the better, as;
There are times when I just want to look at your face......
Rosanne Simunovic's Recollections
David
has an incredible knack for finding songs that we can all fall in love
with! And, Forevermore is a perfect example of this.
From
the opening strains of this song, we are transported into a world of
pure and complete love. David's voice is so heartfelt and perfect for
this song - he captures the emotion as one would capture a butterfly
with a net - just sweeping the air gently until he can hold it in the
palm of his hand and the stillness of his heart.
His
clear head voice flawlessly ascends the scale-like passages in this
song with no evidence of a break in his vocal range. It just floats
from his mouth so easily and, yet, we all know that there is a strong
technical foundation guiding the entire vocal process.
And
don't you love his expressive face and his subtle hand and arm
movements throughout this number? He exudes such a sincere and genuine
charisma that one cannot help but fall in love with him and his artistic
delivery of this song.
The
gentle nuances, the exquisite phrasing, the clarity of the words,
David's relaxed, yet passionate, demeanor gives this performance video a
timeless quality, one to be savored in order to alleviate the trials
and tribulations of everyday life.
However,
it is also a joyful song, a tribute, to celebrate the happiest of
occasions - like weddings or anniversaries! A song for all seasons so
to speak.
And,
speaking of happy occasions, today - August 2nd- my husband and I are
celebrating our 44th Wedding Anniversary and I can't think of a more
appropriate and beautiful song to ring in this special day than David's
version of "Forevermore"
On April 7, 2012, I had the privilege of reviewing this video performance and "http://masterclasslady.com/2012/04/07/david-archuletas-inspiring-new-video-forevermore
"In
the midst of all the singing competitions, if you feel that you need to
be reminded about what a passionate and gifted singer sounds like, then
press play on the video above.
I guarantee you that David Archuleta’s performance of his new song, “Forevermore” will move you in a very special way.
He sings like angel and communicates this song with sensitivity and artistry.
Those
ascending scales in the melodic line are vocalized by David with
expressive clarity and precision He really understands the importance of
head voice – he moves up and down through the melodic line with
pitch-perfect ease and consistent focus. His voice sounds seamless and
pure at every step of the way during this performance.
Play this song before you head off to bed. David’s soothing voice will relax and inspire you before you sleep.
Or,
if you are reading this during the day, then rest assured that this
video will absolutely banish any level of stress you are presently
experiencing."
Truer
words never spoken! David is an absolute treasure and, over time, his
sublime talent will be recognized the world over. One cannot avoid
excellence - it always rises to the top!
