MASSIVE FYC fan back in the day, and now, here in 2023 this is the FIRST TIME I hear this? Love it - such a shame neither the group nor Roland made more stuff, but hey - there's still time huh? Amazing voice the man has, I think I might listen to it again! Cheers OP
Mr Gift’s a very enigmatic figure..since the FYC I wanted to hear more from him..never knew about this record and wished I did..the world needs more music from this man
J'ai toujours aimé la voix de Roland Gift et je reconnais qu'il méritait plus de succès en chant car il a une voix unique que je reconnaitrai entre mille car elle me fait frissonner à chaque fois que je l'entends. De plus c'est un homme avec un visage d'ange. Un seul regret je n'ai jamais eu la chance de le voir sur scène, ca m'aurait fait un bien fou . Tout le monde aurait besoin de l'écouter mais le monde de la musique manque de voix unique comme la sienne. Merci FYC Et surtout Roland Gift en solo est encore plus exceptionnel, je ne me lasse pas de l'écouter;
Love this album, and Roland's unmistakably unique voice. Superhero is an absolutely amazing song. It should have been used in a Superhero movie or television show. LOVE IT!
Ahh, this is good. Like, solidly good. How did I never know about this album? I would have snapped it right up. He should make another album now, in 2021, and I bet it would slay.
I discovered it by chance a year ago because I wanted to know what happened to FYC. This album is simply a delight. His voice is even more magnificent than before. It's a pity he didn't carry on. An artist like that should regularly delight us with new masterworks.
Going down this rabbit hole today. I'm wondering now why didn't INXS look to Mr. Gift when Michael Hutchence died. They would have been a perfect complement to each other. This is no less than amazing.
No había escuchado este álbum; ya van dos veces que lo escucho; la primera vez me agrado y ahora en esta segunda ocasión, lo disfrute mucho más; excelente voz la de Roland Gift; con FYC también también todo un placer escucharlo; lástima que ya no haya seguido deleitándonos con su talento, tanto en lo individual como con el grupo (un grupo excelente!).
Wow, if you listen to this album while you look at pictures of your kids from your phone as you transfer them to your computer, you will probably get pretty misty. Not even sure if the lyrics matter. Just the vibe of these tracks. Especially Say It Ain't So. Whew... Good photo album music, man alive.
That type of thing happens all the time. One of the members of TOTO wrote human nature.Had they not givin it to Michael I don’t think it would have been as big of a song as it was. Perfect example
@@johntonelli5930 I tried to give it a chance again after a few years and now I think it shouldn't have been released even in South America (if it ever was)😁
Agreed , every band that captured a magic vibe in the 80s did not deliver in the 90s , you just cant replicate that time in history.. to me this 90s music felt flat and lifeless, so ya if FYC is still all alive they need to come back and play every song on every album!!!!@@marty6945
It's been 19 years since this was released and I just discovered this album. Roland's voice is truly a Gift!
What a beautiful voice and feeling. To bad he didn't receive the recognition he deserves bravo Mr Gift from Puerto Rico well done.

Alway loved his distinctive voice. FYC never got the fame they deserved.
I can't understand why someone with an iconic voice like Roland's doesn't have more recorded music...
This is a great album and it's a shame that Gift never had the career he deserved outside of FYC.
Still got it Rolo, keep going mate putting it out there.
Great special voice!!! Great sound!!! Mr Gift's amazing artist!!! SUPERHERO my favourite song!!!
It is October 13, 2022 and I have been listening to this album at least twice a week since March 28, 2022! 😊

I LOVE this album! What a great singer
This actually has the 12th 'special edition' track - "What Do You Mean?"
Quite excellent. Not enough people know about this album

Roland U R A "Gift"!! Loved U For Years and Years........This Album Is Insanely Great!! 💗❤💗❤😘

Wow ! The depth/intensity/ and sensitivity of both artists could have brought something very special
Great special voice...and his looks are....wow
This is a great sound!
An incredible album lost in the noughties
This is a pretty good album! I have listened to this album about 5 or 6 times since March 28, 2022!

Lindo 🧡
Classic 😮
Su voz increible .venga a chile .kuando.
Roland Gift also had a part in an episode of the television series 'Heartbeat', as a soldier who had gone AWOL and was hiding out in the Dales.
Excelent musician.
Excelente vocalista!
Ótimas musicas
This album should of done well
Should have... yes
For replay: 11:35
Good stuff! Check out RG in the movie “Scandal”. 1989 I think
32:23
Em alguns momentos me lembra mick jagger cantando
I can't help but think that if the stones had recorded the first song it would have been bigger. I hear Jagger.
That type of thing happens all the time. One of the members of TOTO wrote human nature.Had they not givin it to Michael I don’t think it would have been as big of a song as it was. Perfect example
This is a SOLO CD...!!!! Sorry but vinyl versio this album : NOT
first thing I did was look for a vinyl version. sad that it was not pressed.
It doesn't say vinyl,lp simple denotes album length...
When compared to FYC, this is absolute boring.
Yeah very generic turn of the millennium pop. Missing the hooks and vibe of FYC. I can see why this didn't get a North American release.
