Stylized - but nice

"I learned of this CD and artist when looking for various versions of the song "I'll Never Love This Way Again." I was certain that the song had been recorded better than Whitney Houston's version. Man, was I right! Rather than Whitney's over-sung style, Sean respects the music with a relaxed arrangement. The harmonies all use the same vibrato, imparting a semi-boy-band sound. INLTWA is the only song in English. The other songs are all in Hawaiian so be prepared. Nothing wrong with it, just know in advance that this CD is primarily traditional Hawaiian music with a pop inflection.
Its all pretty. I'd call it classy ethnic pop."
One of my favorite Hawaiian music cds

"As I have recently begun collecting Hawaiian music, I was pleasantly suprised to happen upon this artist and this particular cd. What really caught my attention was track one. Wow!! It made the hair on the back of my head stand on end. A major endorphine or dopamine rush!! It is my favorite Hawaiian song. Absolutely beautiful. The other cd that I like by Sean is entitled Sean and Robi, a duet with a well known female artist from the islands. Sean is a real talent. I hope to hear more from him in the future. Nice job Sean!!"
