PASSAGE (Michael Bolton CD review by Elysa Gardner in USA Today, 4-23): “…Other selections artfully combine adult-contemporary clichés with the most banal aspects of modern pop, from gaudy faux-Latin flourishes to gooey bubblegum reverb. What remains distinctive is Bolton’s inimitably constipated vocal style, which seems to disprove the theory that men can’t empathize with the pain women suffer in childbirth.”
