- Sep 9, 2010
Today we have a super-special bonus in honor of the most smashing debut album so far this year, Stuart Matthew Price's ALL THINGS IN TIME in addition to the full rundown! To access this new landmark BWW Exclusive Premiere Player - featuring a sparkling, shiny new Jason Robert Brown anthem - simply activate the window embedded inside the review! Here - only at BWW - you can hear the stupendous title track which was written especially for this album by JRB, 'All Things In Time', as well as two songs from the Pulitzer Prize-winning NEXT TO NORMAL, 'There‘s A World' and 'I'm Alive' by Brian Yorkey and Tom Kitt, in addition to an impossibly addictive pop confection called 'The Touch Of Love' from a new West End musical titled IN TOUCH by Dougal Irvine. Hopefully this sample will compel you to further partake in this treasure trove and pick up a copy of the complete album which also features songs by a number of new, up-and-coming composers personally accompanying the astounding leading man on many tracks! These three tracks are available to enjoy for only a limited time, so the time for all good things is undeniably right now! Catch a star on the rise and take a rocket ride to the SimG universe!

SOUND OFF: West End Witches
by Robert Diamond
- Jul 8, 2010
This week, we are taking a listen to two wonderful West End-related winners featuring the stars of two witch-related West End musicals - THE WITCHES OF EASTWICK and WICKED - courtesy of SimG Records: Caroline Sheen's RAISE THE CURTAIN and Annalene Beechey's CLOSE YOUR EYES. These two delicious divas-in-training have proven that they have the talent, skill and technique to entertain us for many years to come onstage, but just how well do their first solo album efforts showcase their considerable abilities? Singing everything from Sondheim, William Finn and Stephen Schwartz to Adam Guettel, Jason Robert Brown, David Yazbeck and Stiles & Drewe, as well as some Joni Mitchell and Tracy Chapman thrown in for good measure, there's surely enough to satisfy all with much more than mere morsels to enjoy. All of this appreciable merriment (and even a small sampling of 'Away In A Manger' courtesy of Mitchell) and formidable entertainment comes with mostly unadorned accompaniment, as well, giving these ladies a true chance to shine their clearest and brightest in a solo spotlight all their own!
