Exceptionally Different, Outstanding Quality !
I picked up on Ross Crean, in a thread started by another artist, in The Editor's Suggestion Discussion on The MDC artist messageboard. I have never heard anyone quite like this artist. Smooth multiranged vocals, with lyrical rhythms that make sense, unlike the forced, syncopated rhyme so prevalent in popular music today. Everything makes sense when this guy sings and it all sounds incredibly natural. The lyrics are like a conversation one would have with oneself in the mirror. Direct, precise, and daring. 5 star downloads, unquestionably.
Thanks for the music, Ross !

Ross Crean: Press
Absolutely hypnotizing!
His music is absolutely beautiful. I can hear the soul that he puts into his music. He has a wonderful voice, using great talnt to its fullest potential. I'm looking forward to hearing more of his music.
What a talent!
I saw Ross live in concert in NYC a few years back, and the boy can rock! He plays a lot more guitar if I remember, but he plays piano really well, too. You can hear the opera influence in his voice. I always think I hear a bit of Josh Groban (that's a compliment!), but Ross is much, much edgier music-wise. His range is pretty huge. I love his low notes! Keep it up, Ross!
Amazing voice...incredible songwriting!
I was blown away by Ross Crean!!! What a voice! He doesn't sound like anyone else I've heard. His songwriting is very intelligent and has a (for lack of a better word) sexy vibe to it. I hope his album comes out soon. I would get it immediately!
ROSS you voice makes me want to say things like BASSO PROFUNDO , and BELLISIMO and wow who IS THAT moving tectonic plates with his voice ???
Love the voice....so soothing.
JUST GOT BACK FROM NEW YORK AND AGAIN I LISTENED TO SAMPLES ON CD BABY-IM ORDERING THIS CD TODAY-ITS AMAZING-RARELY DOES SUCH PASSIONATE VOCALS AND LYRICAL DEPTHNESS COME FROM A LOCAL ARTIST-GREAT TO HEAR SOMETHING FRESH AMONGST ALL THE ROCK BANDS THAT SOUND THE SAME-THE CD IS EXCELLENT-I LOOK FORWARD TO FUTURE OUTPUT AS WELL-ALL THE BEST
Great feel, great sound. I'll definitely check in and keep listening to the tunes! Very cool...
I have never heard any man with a voice like Ross Crean's. The CD has such a good style variety. I love the songs "Pianokill" and "Leaving New York", and I get the chills when I listen to the end of "The Sweet Hereafter". Awesome songwriting and very poetic lyrics.
Ross's range continues to expand on this CD. He is always looking to break boundaries in music and reach new potential. This CD is obviously a compilation of pieces, in which Ross has poured out both his emotion and his musical talent.
Ross Crean has a truly phenomenal voice. His spare acoustic accompaniment and sensitive lyrics are the perfect back drop for this exceptional vocal talent.
"Just when you're pretty sure the singer songwriter has gone the way of computer programming you find a CD like; "This Too Shall Pass" by Ross Crean. The songs, the musicianship, and most of all that voice ...ahhh....wonderfully real and beautiful"
