Wicked Game
I wasn't expecting such a mellow sound on this version, so I was pleasantly surprised. Atlas sounds a little like Isaak, but his voice is more soulful. In some spots it sounds as if there is a phantom voice. This song is beautiful and calming. I've listened to it several times, and I've heard different nuances that give me chills. While I was never a fan of Chris Isaak, Freddie Atlas really brings this into a new world.
(Editor's Note - Music Street Journal is set up for the allocation of albums, not singles - particularly not one-song singles. So, in the instances, like this one, where we've covered single song releases, we've had to make some adaptations for formatting. In the case of this one, just imagine both track review and overall review reading as one set of copy. )
