Album Notes

Adam Pascal and Larry Edoff’s new album Blinding Light is an exhilarating collection of songwriting matched with the passionate, fiery musicianship that trademark both Pascal and Edoff’s solo albums. Broadway star Adam Pascal and songwriter Larry Edoff combine Pascal’s unmatched vocal range - from aching and suave to raw and explosive - with Edoff’s flawless musicianship and vast musical vocabulary where jazz and rock meet touches of world music twinged with classical. Highlights include Pascal’s gritty vocals that perfectly embody the edgy lyrics in the rock song “Turn the Lights On.” In titillating contrast is the sassy and suggestive duet “Call Your Bluff,” where Pascal and Rent co-star Daphne Rubin-Vega intertwine in a Brazilian-Argentinean tango. “Just Like I Am” is a standout, with Pascal and a chorus of gospel singers begging for love despite imperfection. Edoff’s vocal depth and emotive honesty soar in “Will I Drown,” a call for help as the world speeds out of control. The result is an album of unsurpassed stylistic range and lyrical depth that carries the alternative-rock genre to new creative heights.
