Paul Maged - Diamonds & Demons
It's not until over half way through this long album that Maged sings an honest-to-goodness love song with "My Dear Love." He sings it -- as he vocalizes most songs -- with a passionate voice that sounds to be on the verge of losing control. The track is a nice touch of humanity, and a factor one wishes to have heard in far more places during the album.
Maged could learn a thing or two from artists like Bruce Springsteen and The Clash (folks he probably already admires) because these performers have a way of highlighting a cause and persuading us to join the bandwagon right along with them. Socially active artists must find a way to be leaders, not just preachers. Once Maged finds a way to get us on the same page as he is, he already has enough enthusiasm to get the job done.
