This promises to be a breakthrough year for the former Connecticut dee-jay. “The Voices Inside†features two versions of the hit single “Right Here Waiting†which hit 3 on the Billboard Breakout Chart. It also includes the original version of “Heavenâ€, his second single which was heavily played at Abercrombie and Fitch stores and satellite dance radio stations throughout the country. The album also has outstanding pop songs like “Give It Upâ€, featuring rap vocals by rapper Knotty, “Her Wayâ€, and the heart-tugging ballad “Never Leave You Again,†which reached 6 on the American Idol.com underground pop chart. The second album, Deliverance, is more dance oriented and high energy and is a must have album for dance music lovers.
