Many will remember Ryan
Star from his renegade
run on the 2006 CBS
reality series Rock Star Supernova, where
his alt-rock piano panache catapulted him
to solo success. On his Matt Serletic-produced
major-label debut, Star surrounds
himself with a cast of keyboard killers including
Serletic, Kim Bullard, and Patrick Warren,
who bathe his soaring pop choruses
in an ever-evolving sonic glow. (Atlantic, rstar.net)
