Although I have never followed any of the singing game shows on TV, it?s always fascinating to see where most of the winners end up in the music scene, because most of them go nowhere because they have a lack of inspiration and direction. However, the 2019 season seven American Idol runner-up, Alejandro Aranda, is not, particularly in that group. Although he doesn?t have the biggest following, he deserves to be heard by people because this is one of those: ?once-in-a-generation talents? because his voice is nearly flawless. On this nearly 2 hour album, he explores the vast world of indie and pop music. Most of the project is layered in this chamber-pop instrumentation that is both lush and mesmerizing. While there are later tracks that dabble in jazz fusion and jazz-pop. There is even some playing around with folktronica and electro-pop near the middle of the project. Although the length is a bit much, some tracks just never end when they should, and some of the experimentation near the end of the project leaves me scratching my head, Alejandro brings a dense showing off what one can do if you have some balls to dive into it. Great album with amazing performances, instrumentals, and sonic change-ups.

A most admirable feat in pop music of this Idol context, seeing as Scarypoolparty jumps styles in a heartbeat effortlessly. That said, at almost two hours one really has to bring out their A-game in song-writing, which sometimes falters here. But I am actually coming at this with a bias of sorts, seeing as only rarely have these kinds of Bandcamp-style pop albums interested me more than superficially.

A brilliant masterpiece of an album from a musical genius!! I listen to The Act of Forgiveness at least twice a day, and each day I discover something new. Absolutely Grammy worthy!!
