# Musical Artist Review: Jamie Alimorad

This is actually a request. So I am going to give it a listen.
I am going to listen to the songs on his Facebook and do a review of each, because that is how I roll.
Right away I love the amount of instruments in the song. It's very full sounding. This has a very rock vibe to it. I don't really like the lyrics that much though. It kind of reminds of weird diary writings. Kind of cheesy lyrics. It's very Rick Springfieldish. I do love Rick Springfield though...The music is really good though. Like really good. This song overall is fun, but the lyrics don't do it for me. I just don't like the chorus. I feel like I am lambasted with "Tiffany". This songs is strong musically speaking. I really love the arrangement.
This right away reminds me of a "Something Corporate" called "21 and Invincible"
The arrangement in this song is so good. It's really well put together. His voice is pretty good too. This was a fun song, but forgettable.
I can't get over over how every song has great music in it. I don't know what's going on with the beginning voice effect, but it's not great. Love his voice in this one. It sounds a little bit more soulful. I really like songs that you can feel it to your soul, this is the first one on this album that has a faint inkling of that feeling. I just can't help feeling like something is missing though. Good powerful song with GREAT music. I could see myself jamming this in the car.. the looks be damned. Good good song, BUT I think I hear some auto-tuning in the end and it's pretty blatant.
Oh boy. What was that beginning? It didn't fit AT ALL. I felt like the GPS told me to go right and then I crashed into a wall. This has a very countryish vibe to it. Like the kind of country that pisses off veteran country singers. There is obvious auto-tuning in this as well. I don't know how I feel about that. To me that says that the singer couldn't hold pitch in the recording studio. If you can't even hold pitch on your own songs... well. I really liked this song until I heard the auto-tuning. It really takes away from the song. If there isn't auto-tuning in this, I don't know. Maybe it was badly edited, but there shouldn't be glottal stops unless you are singing in a language that has many of them. I am just warning you, if I hear anymore blatant auto-tune, this review is over.
Very funky rock. This has a running in the rain towards a goal feel. GREAT harmonies. Music is fantastic... except for that weird ass giggle that just happened. God the harmonies are tight on this! Great song. Really really great!
Has a "Killers" vibe.... yup... autotune.. done.

Okay this guy has a fantastic voice. I could handle auto tune if it's done in a tongue in cheek way or in a way that isn't noticeable. But I wonder how much of his voice is him or auto-tune? If you have vocal flaws... OWN IT. I just don't like that I don't know if this is his voice or not. I can't explain it. I don't like hearing blatant auto-tune shifts. Like I said, that says to me that the artist can't keep in tune. The music is phenomenal. The arrangements are masterfully done. I just don't know if he is strong vocally or not.
Overall feeling?

I saw your review for Hanson's new album Anthem and I really liked what you said. I'm a big Hanson fan and I really love the new work. Idk if you do independent artists that aren't as big as Hanson, but there's this guy out of Boston. His name is Jamie Alimorad and he's absolutely amazing. Would love for you to review his new album Words Left Unsaid. Check out his page at http://facebook.com/jamiealimorad

I am giving this a 3 star because musically this guy is amazing talented. Vocally he seems talented, but I don't know. Maybe I will watch some live stuff and get back to you.
