GOODBYE STEREO REVIEW IN RHYTHMS
Goodbye Stereo ~ This is Life Rhythms Magazine January 2008 Written by Martin Jones.
“Apparently its taken singer/song writer Paul Mah a decade to gather the material and means to get a substantial selection of his songs on disc and out into the big wide world. That would certainly explain the maturity in his singing and songwriting.
I guess you'd be tempted to put Mah's work under the Goodbye Stereo moniker in the dreaded "acoustic chill-out" category, such are the soothing effects of his gentle vocals and lilting meodies. At it's worst, This is Life may be guilty of being a little too pretty and earnest for its own good.
But look a little closer and you'll discover a musical eloquence and, most importantly, integrity to this collection that are reminiscent of softly spoken guitar based singer songwriters like Elliot Smith or even our own Art of Fighting.
Epicure's Heath McCurdy is responsible for the pretty piano and percussion that lift's Mah's vocal and guitar creations into the radio friendly realm, adding just enough guts so that the songs would not seem to sonically meek on FM radio. While, on the one hand, that enhances the chance that This is Life will get to radio, it also polishes off a few of the rougher edges that would have given it a little more personality.
The mini-albums six tracks are all exquisite acoustic pop songs "Autumn Lullaby" boasting a chorus dramatic enough to propel it to TV series soundtrack potential, and “Come home soon” and “This is Life” unwinding like a walk down a country lane on a drzzly day”
When two people are friends, they are in stereo Left & Right.
When they embrace, they say goodbye stereo, hello surround.
Over the last 10 years singer songwriter Paul Mah has written tunes about love, life and things that surround him. Finally these songs have been taken from the comfortable surrounds of his lounge room, and packaged up as Goodbye Stereo. Armed with vocal melodies and his trusty acoustic guitar, Paul takes the stage to perform his life experience in song for you. Joining him live is a cast of friends/musicians, tapping, strumming, twinkling and backing the melody… with harmony.
The debut release “This is Life” is a 6 track mini album, starting and finishing with sounds from the home. Singing about topics such as love, family, death, sickness, war and forgiveness, all these songs are from the heart. Produced by friend Heath McCurdy (Epicure), Pauls humble guitar strumming has been transformed into a beautiful tunes.
