Singing Bear "Gold"

At Alivestyle, we are really interested in musicians that not only speak a pertinent message to the people of our time, but that also “walk their talk” so to speak.  Anthony Singing Bear, so named by his mother, is once such creature whose music and message resonates from a deep spiritual place, while still coming across light and palatable.  In fact, we saw so many messages embedded in his new, and as of yet unreleased album “Gold”, that we knew we would have to include this guy in a music review here.

As we went further into the Singing Bear story, we saw a history of thinking and philosophy in his life that is what the revolutionaries of every generation have always been talking about.  Free will, reality creation, positive thinking, manifestation, facing fear, timeless music, embracing the mystery.  All of these themes and more are brilliantly laid out in this stunning album which is Singing Bear’s first official nationwide release to date.   With catchy hooks, brilliant poetry, and a very resonant, powerful, and sensual voice, Bear leaves an imprint on the musical landscape that is difficult to forget.  This album, although as of yet underground and mostly unknown, is sure to make an impact on those whose lives it will touch.  It may be more like a magical spell than a CD, affecting those who are open and ready to receive the message.   To listen to or buy the CD go to http://singingbearmusic.com

So I will be the first one to admit, that I was skeptical about this guy.  I mean, he seemed a little too perfect, maybe polished up by Hollywood, maybe candy coated and wrapped in bubble gum.  I mean, 20 million hits on youtube and in the top one hundred for over a year.  And how many times will we hear “I’m Yours” on the radio before it has been overdone?

Well, as I got to know this guy and his music, my whole perspective flipped quickly.  He is about as real of an artist as you can get, and his music and performance is right up there with all the greats in history.  In fact, every song on this album is catchy, original, and with an awesome positive powerful message that gives me tingles up and down my spine.  In our brief interview with Jason, he talked about what success means to him.

He said, “Ever since I decided that music was my life and I packed up my car and went for it, I have been a success.”

Just knowing that Jason Mraz is out there singing such positive lyrics to hoards of bouncy teens, eating and promoting raw food, and making giant waves in the consciousness of the world gives me great hope in humans.

Musically, this album is amazing.  It has so much depth and personality.  People have help on to Bob Marley for all these years and his popularity continues to grow as more people are born.  This guys music could have a similar lasting affect on the global consciousness … give it a listen and let us know what you think.

As for me, I give it a 4 star must have Album of the Year!
