Singer
Songwriter Showcase: Adam Mugavero - Breathe
By Gary Schwind
When I first put on Adam Mugavero’s CD,
I was reminded of Angie Aparo. Vocally, there is some similarity
between Angie Aparo. Stylistically though, Mugavero is more like
Josh Rouse. Mugavero has a style that I’ll call dream-folk.
The folk part comes is easier to explain,
so I’ll tackle that first. The mandolin and strings in the first
couple songs (“History” and “Air”) that give the CD a sort of down-home
feel. What’s dreamy about this disc? I don’t know if I could say
for sure. All I can say is that as I listened to this disc, I found
myself so entranced by the songs that I was failing to take notes.
The songs have a kind of ethereal sound that reminds me a lot of Josh Rouse.
Perhaps another way to describe Mugavero’s
sound is that he makes good coffeehouse music. I don’t mean the corporate
giant coffeehouse. I mean the coffeehouse that’s open all night,
where people play chess and read the classics. Mugavero’s music is
perfect for a coffeehouse like that.
I’ll say one other thing for Mugavero.
If Hollywood discovers his music, he could really take off. His music
would be great in independent films. Breathe is a terrific
album that I think will get a lot of time with me.
