Nicholas Mrozinski | “Together We’re Stronger”
Nicholas Mrozinski
Mature albums are hard to come by. They always have been. It is the nature of the music biz. On any given day the number of “debut album” releases greatly outnumber the “fifth album” and “sixth album” releases.
Nicholas Mrozinski‘s 4th studio album displays a marked maturity that takes years to cultivate. From the first track, “Window Of Sage”, to the markedly-understated finale, “Della Jean”, Together We’re Stronger is one of the deeper and more introspective albums that I have heard recently.
The album is beautifully-crafted, and features a mastery of build-ups and break-downs reminiscent of recent Jack Johnson albums.
Mrozinski’s voice, nestled somewhere in between tenor and baritone, channels the sincerity of Ray Lamontagne and mixes it with the playfulness of Jason Mraz.
This album makes my short list of best local releases of 2009.
