In our fast paced stress filled days, we all need a little time to escape and enjoy the wonders that surround us.  Jim Brickman's newest CD release Escape takes you on a relaxing journey of soft melodies that are guaranteed to soothe your soul.

 

From the first track to the last, Escape is a wonderful combination of musical styles in which Brickman creates another masterpiece of beautiful music.  From the Latin feel of "Escape", to the country flavor of "Never Alone", to the pop sounds of "When It Snows"; then add to that the beautiful melodies of the solo piano pieces and you have a enchanting musical journey that is guaranteed to help you Escape the stress of your day.

 

Escape is the latest release from the platinum selling artist.  It is his first release of original solo piano music in three years.  Brickman includes five songs featuring vocals by R&B superstar Gerald Levert singing "Goodnight My Angel", country sensation Sara Evans adds her vocal style to "Never Alone", singer/songwriter Geoff Byrd sings "When It Snows " and Jake Simpson, who was featured on "Twenty Years of Oprah's Favorites Moments" and the 2006 Star Search Winner, completes the vocal lineup on "To Hear You Say You Love Me."  Adding instrumentals to "Winter Waltz" is violinist and fiddle master David Klinkenberg.  These artists accentuate the Brickman magic with wonderful performances on Escape.

 

Escape is for all who love beautiful romantic piano music.  It's the perfect ingredient for a romantic evening spent with that special someone.  If you need to refresh your mind and spirit take some time out with Jim Brickman and& Escape.
