Review of Five For Fighting's New Album "Slice"

I fell in love with John Ondrasik's voice when the song Superman (It's Not Easy) , inspired by the events of 9/11, hit the radio years ago. Today, John Ondrasik - performing under the stage name Five for Fighting – releases the new album Slice.

With his distinctive voice and radio friendly piano melodies, Five for Fighting has released a solid album that has been in rotation on my iPod for the past few days. Stand out songs include "Chances" , the first release from the album, as well as "This Dance" and "Transfer".

There are a few songs that seem out of place in this collection (The song "Hope" in particular seems to be a frequent target of my "NEXT" button). If you are a fan of Five for Fighting's style, you'll enjoy "Slice" – which remains true to the sound that you're probably used to. The melodies and hooks are truly infectious – and you'll likely find yourself (as I have) humming along after your first listen.
