Big Voiced Music, 3 out of 5 Stars
Marco Rosato is a singer/songwriter, actor and musician who has been working stages since he first won a scholarship with Fred Waring and The Pennsylvanians. He's appeared as Daddy Warbucks in "Annie" and once opened for Joan Rivers' nightclubs shows. This is his first CD, self-produced and self released. Marco's voice is big and dramatic. On several of the songs, he does the one man band routine and plays all the music himself. About half the songs are self-composed. The rest mix show-tunes (David Foster/Carole Bayer Sager's "The Prayer), pop standards (The Everly Brothers' "All I Have To Do Is Dream") and songs about critters ("Lukie Lu" is about a pet pooch, and the title track). There's more than a little Andrea Bocelli
in Marco's style and it suits the songs well. (Exception, his cover of "Somewhere Over The Rainbow," a song I could go the remainder of my life without hearing 'reinterpreted' again.) "Sealssong" is a pleasant mix of stage/devotional singing and some decent pop stylings. While I don't think Marco will be knocking Susan Boyle's I Dreamed A Dream
off the charts, if you like her (or Bocelli and Michael Buble's Crazy Love), you'll most likely enjoy Marco Rosato's "Sealssong."
