Michael Moon, aka Michael Anthony Franano, is the ex-frotnman of mystical rockers The Front, and then Bakers Pink. Both of these bands split up after one recording each. Franano went on to release 'You', a mellow, lightweight rock record of breezy ballads, piano-based melodies, and soulful integrity. Don't expect even a hint of a metal riff, but this deserves inclusion because people such as Michael made the early '90s more colourful with their alterno-rock. 'You' is probably Michael's best performance when compared to his other bands - here, his vocals are crystal clear, moving and moody. The guy can sure piece together a decent track. 'So Like Her' is bright and jangly, but does remind me of a rom-com soundtrack. Strangest inclusion is '80s Yazoo hit 'You', but overall, a short, sweet, bright and breezy record that should please more than just fans of The Front and Bakers Pink.
6.5/10
