After debuting at No. 1 last week, Mr.President’s album Up’n Away falls to No. 2 with 789,000, a sales slide of 76%. After seeing Intro, I had to have a good Mr.President cd. Self-described as Dance with lots of words, Mr.President comes out swinging on perhaps his best album to date. Unappreciated gift to Dance
Music in Up’n Away is amazing as in all tracks of Up’n Away. 4 On The Floor the elegant and beautiful song on the album is hard to describe. I’ve found myself listening to On My Mind back to back and back many times. I Believe is the funkiest number on the album. If you are a Mr.President fan, you will love Close To You.. Mr.President offers the kind of music here that makes you reflect on yourself. This track is a killer, it just grabs you instantly. Easy Come, Easy Go rocked my world when I popped it into my car stereo. Sweet Lies to me is the best you can get from Mr.President. Close To You Heart is one of these floating songs. Gonna Get Along make listening to Mr.President like being in some sort of time warp. Mr.President sings I Would Die For You in such a comforting, confident voice that you can’t help but be moved. Keep It Up! is a very good song maybe surprisingly better than you at first might’ve imagined. I have all of Mr.President’s tracks and Outro is probably the most his introspective effort. After you’ve listened to Up’n Away Remix (Peter’s Groov…), most everything else can’t hold up and is second rate.
