My Oh My It's A Miracle !
The songs on this album are mini masterpieces that explore the enigmatic and emotional experiences of deeply loving another. The title track, "Slow Love" speaks to an appreciation of the fullness and richness of a love, that despite relationship challenges along life's journey, like a fine wine...just gets better with age. The rest of the songs are stories about life challenges, high and low moments, emotions and feelings that so often influence the outcome of love's journey.

I like the title tract very much, it is a great slow jam dance number. But these six songs are my very favorites: "A Woman Crossed in Love", about the "catch 22" of living up to committments to trust, truth, and honesty, when issues of infidelity are involved. "Down with Love" which likens love to a serious medical affliction. It is also a remake of an uptempo synth version from the "Big Dreamers.." album. This funky, jazzed, remake is soooooo superior to the original. When I bought this CD it was quite a while before I even realized that this version was that same song.

The damage verbal conflicts cause in relationships is explored in "Words Can Kill"; "Lost and Found" extols the power of love to heal and inspire; "Oh My It's a Miracle" rhapsodizes the sheer joy of loving; and the uptempo, jazzed, "Alive by Science" uses wry, witty lyrics to talk about a very serious subject...loving someone enough in the face of death to be able to let them go.

Even though they are not favorite songs, "Tierras De Amores Y Sombras" (a latin guitar serenade about passion and love), "Cry Baby" (love gone terribly wrong), and "Constantly Constantine" (lovesickness to the point of self-destruction), are so terrific I never fast forward. There is no really bad song on this CD.

Gino's magical music, and silky, sensual, sometimes sassy vocals, tell stories about the ebb and flow and nuance of love. The result in an album that engages the listener to comtemplate, feel, and explore the richness of their own experiences. This wonderful album is indeed a little miracle and misses being my very favorite Gino masterpiece by a whisker.
