Anthony Callea - A New Chapter

A NEW CHAPTER' MARKS THE BEGINNING OF A NEW PHASE IN ANTHONY'S ALREADY RECORD-BREAKING CAREER, WHICH HAS SO FAR PRODUCED A CHART-TOPPING, SELF-TITLED DEBUT ALBUM, AS WELL AS TWO HUGE, MULTI-PLATINUM NUMBER ONE HITS: 'RAIN'/'BRIDGE OVER TROUBLED WATER' AND, OF COURSE, 'THE PRAYER', WHICH HOLDS THE RECORD AS THE HIGHEST-SELLING AND FASTEST-SELLING AUSTRALIAN SINGLE OF ALL TIME! " 'A NEW CHAPTER' FEATURES LEAD SINGLE, 'LIVE FOR LOVE'; THE BEAUTIFUL, EMOTIONAL BALLAD ABOUT HOPE IN TROUBLED TIMES. 'LIVE FOR LOVE' PERFECTLY DEPICTS THE SOFTER SIDE OF THE ALBUM WHICH ALSO FEATURES ANTHONY'S RENOWNED POP SMARTS WITH MANY TRACKS EITHER WRITTEN OR CO-WRITTEN BY ANTHONY HIMSELF. Album Description

A singer with great talent

Everything other reviewers have said about his voice is true. He has a terrific voice and has learned how to use it with great skill. This is no pop icon who relies on recording engineers to make him sound good - he is a real singer. Also worth mentioning is that the songs are musicially interesting (not always the case with pop music) and his lyrics are written in a way that speaks to everyone: women, men, straight, gay. I'd rate this the best pop album of the year. Some of the ballads are heartbreaking. Here's hoping we hear more from Anthony Callea! July 26, 2007

ANTHONY HAS DONE IT AGAIN

I was greatly impressed by Anthony's first CD album and said so in an Amazon review. This CD emerged late in 2006 and, while it has sold well in Australia, it has not done nearly as well as the earlier album. That's a pity because this is a more interesting and more mature work. It has been composed largely by Anthony and the melodies, lyrics and sound textures are always impressively professional. Anthony, a pop singer if ever there was one, even ventures towards some rock textures in some of these songs, "Addicted to You" for example, and he gets away with it. Anthony's voice is as rich and strong as always. The CD is beautifully presented with excellent photography and art work. 2006's AUSTRALIAN IDOL winner, Damien Leith, is like Anthony in many ways and will give Anthony a run for his money on the Australian charts. But that is good, both for the artists and for the industry. So long as Australia has artists of this calibre producing material of such quality and interest we are fortunate. Also, so long as AUSTRALIAN IDOL gives a boost to artists such as Damien and Anthony long may the show prosper. April 2, 2007

Amazing

This is a amazing CD. The songs are some of the best pop rock I've ever come across. Anthony has a outstanding voice. He is better than most singers in the business right now. He has a very strong and powerful voice. This is a superb CD.

The stand out tracks are: If Only, There's Always Time, Almost, Want You To See, Standed, and Perfect Mistake. March 6, 2007
