Years have gone by and now the lead singer of the Badlees has decided to
try a new route. Going solo. For most artists, it would be a rough road
to travel, but with a divine voice like Pete Palladino's, it should be a breeze.
He's got it all…the voice, the looks, the passion, and the experience. Palladino
is soon to be the man of 2001.
"Home At Last" starts the journey off, with a catchy melody and powerful vibe.
Palladino shows you he means business, shouting "know your history," while
uncovering his vast vocal range. This is the type of song that will be embedded
in your head for days and days.
"Elena on the Wall" blasts into a softer, upbeat tempo and blends into a unique
stream of vocals and lyrics.
Beginning with fascinating effects, "Fate Could Be A Beautiful Thing"
takes a giant leap into a pool of brilliant storytelling by Palladino.
Rich and radiant, Palladino's delicate voice is unforgettable.
"What A Difference A Year Makes" shows Palladino's crazed, yet cool side.
With a voice seeping of honesty and sincerity, Palladino makes himself
easy to relate to.
Full of soothing strings and an all around magical feeling to it, "Complicated
Choreography" settles you down to a fresh, mellow tune with a natural, yet elaborate melody.
"Time Honored Tradition" starts off simple and elevates into a pop-rockish
song that is sure to catch your attention.
Slowly leaking into "My Love," Palladino's honest vocals are backed up
by unique percussion, along with a peek into his wonderful life of romance.
His poignant lyrics will leave you with a slideshow of images running through
your head. Bleeding of brilliance, this song possesses a memorable melody.
With its simple acoustics, "Lay Beside You" takes a glimpse into the sweet heart of
Palladino. With its lullaby-like melody, you're bound to "let the stars into your eyes."
Exploding into a megaphonic-sounding piece, "4th Of July" is sure to leave a lasting
impression. The textured harmony and raspy vocals merge together perfectly
and leave you wanting more.
The title track, "Sweet Siren Of The Reconnected" sets forth with more innovative
vocals, and a somewhat eerie beat that one might expect to hear during a battle.
Palladino's whispering of "sweet siren of" is joined in brilliantly with the murmur
of bagpipes.
"Ever Come To Mind" concludes our journey with a deeper, more personal feeling.
Palladino proudly reveals his simplistic, dazzling style to his listeners.
