Amazon.com Although he's described playing the role of Roger as a mere "stepping stone," Adam Pascal made it to the cover of Newsweek thanks to his part in the Rent phenomenon--and the dramatic edge he brought to his doomed character. While he's continued his work in musical theater with the blockbuster Elton John/Tim Rice show Aida, Pascal returns to his roots as a rock singer on Model Prisoner. His debut solo CD--with backing from Saturday Night Live alumni band members--comes out on Internet-based Sh-K-Boom Records, a label interested in bridging the musical theater-pop music gap for a hip young audience. In fact, Pascal's pre-Rent years were spent fronting a band called Mute; the singer's brand of raw energy makes it clear he's spent a lot of time admiring the likes of Axl Rose and Queensryche. No doubt that the rough passion of his delivery goes some way toward compensating for the repeatedly formulaic quality of his tunes (Pascal wrote 10 of the album's 12 songs)--which can range from leftover hair-metal choruses to dirty-blues-framed laments. But what always comes through is the unmistakable intensity of Pascal's voice, and its ability to shift and shade the moods being expressed. Pascal may be at a crossroads, but he's determined not to be held prisoner by the patterns his fame has cut out so far. --Thomas May Product Description The songs on "Model Prisoner" express the joy and pain of love and relationships. "Model Prisoner" was created at a time in Adams life when he was feeling lost between the theater world and rock music world. The album demonstrates Adams talent as both a singer and a storyteller. Borne out of his influences including Iron Maiden, Queensryche, Pink Floyd, The Beatles and Billy Joel. Adams musical heritage is most evident on tracks like the classic rocker "Liken A Razor", the southern-fried "The One That Got Away," the rock anthem "Which Way To Nowhere," and the heavily textured "Undiscovered". Review His voice is by turns plaintive and powerful, melting and earthy. He can modulate his sound, singing with focused, lean tone one moment and thick, tembling vibrato the next. -- The New York Times Pascal has a ruggedly soulful rock voice -- Variety Pascal's singing is elaborately emotive -- USA Today About the Artist Known to fans around the world for his stints on Broadway as Roger in the original Broadway cast of "Rent" (which earned him Tony Award and Drama Desk Award nominations, and a Theater World Award and Obie Award for outstanding new talent), and currently as Radames in Elton John and Tim Rice's "Aida," Adam Pascal has always been rooted in rock and roll. Born in the Bronx and raised in Long Island, Adam's life was defined by music. He claims that he was a "total metal head as a kid," wearing out albums by Queensryche, Iron Maiden and Judas Priest. However, Pascal also credits The Beatles, Billy Joel and Pink Floyd as additional musical influences. Though Adam has found himself to be a Broadway favorite, his true passion has always been for rock music. Having performed in bands since he was 12, Adam never lost touch with his own music, and has now brought forth his debut solo album, "Model Prisoner." Adam can also be heard on the original broadway cast r! ecordings of "Rent" and "Aida." Paul Ossola, Clint De Ganon, Kenny Brescia, Glenn Alexander, Tim Weil.ASIN: B00004U9VJ
