Listen to This Is Tomorrow Calling
Though Jamie Alimorad got his start in Boston’s underground scene, these days the troubadour is working towards worldwide fame with his diverse and skilled approach to pop sounds on This Is Tomorrow Calling.
“Brighter Days” leads the listen with multifaceted pop that tips its hat to jazz, Americana and even tropical ideas in the melodic opener, and “Not Just Another Pretty Face” follows with keys and mature rhythm as Alimorad finds an eclectic place to reside.
Deeper tracks are equally varied, including the warm balladry of “I Am Home”, while “Rock Me To Heaven” soars with a pop-rock flavor that seems tailor made for the FM dial.
Near the end, “How Could I Love Again” flows with expressive vocals in the romantic atmosphere, and “Nights In The Black Bay” exits the listen with grace and mature instrumentation on the haunting yet pretty conclusion.
An album that took 4 years to complete, it’s quite obvious that much work went into the record, as it sounds great with each instrument being highlighted perfectly. If Alimorad is seeking a wider audience, he’s certainly on his way with universally embraceable tunes here.
Travels well with: Sting- Brand New Day; Toto- Isolation
