This is absolutely the best yet from the man from Ft. Wayne, Indiana! Ty Causey is an extraordinarily talented producer/singer/songwriter who has got to be one of the brightest new stars of the smooth jazz, R&B, and sensual soul genres. No wonder Najee invited him to be a part of the “Morning Tenderness” album and then join him on the subsequent worldwide tour a few years back. EXPRESSIONS is the album that should move Mr. Causey right to the top of the pack, where he certainly belongs. This is an outstanding project, filled with originals and compelling lyrics, memorable melodies, infectious grooves, and top-of-the-line performances. It’s a total winner. This is one of those discs that can be enjoyed from beginning to end, but I will point out that some tracks that have major hit-potential, namely “Heartbreak Paradise,” “Pick Up the Pieces” (an original, not a cover), ”Dark Cloud” featuring the amazing French Smooth Jazz guitarist U-Nam, and the very cool “Wishing You Were Mine,” which has a Babyface meets Seal vibe to it. This CD sparkles from the first note ‘til the last, and I’m betting that his alluring tone, polished delivery, and posh production will totally win you over just like I have been won over. I am definitely a major Ty Causey fan. EXPRESSIONS! I highly recommend it. ~Scott O'Brien
