This is a collection of songs for those of us with a harder edge love of music. This is a cd that could not be overlooked if I am to stay true to my word of introducing sounds from all walks of life.

Fatherhood and continual success in life and his restaurants has brought Ariel Aparicio to a reflective point in his life. So why not write, sing, and share those experiences with the audience?

The end result is All These Brilliant Things, and what an electrifying result. Residing now in Brooklyn, Ariel retains that hint of his Cuban birth in his music while rocking out in this real alternative collection.

Ariel's willingness to share his life through music shows us that he has grown as an artist and person. His humanitarian efforts proves his growth with his donating of all proceeds from the single, "I'm The One," to The Paul Chester Children's Foundation.

Classic David Bowie sensuality gives body to the edgy and moving tracks. While remnants of The Cure, Icehouse, and Led Zeppelin help to make this creative artist oh so familiar to the public. Ariel Aparicio transported me back to my high school days of experiencing alternative, punk, and hard rock concerts with friends.

I would gladly attend any of Ariel Aparicio's concerts. He has already achieved that live sound on his recordings and he seems to be a fun entertainer to be in the presence of. This is evident on the track, "Hang Around," a dedication to his son. I like when and artist makes me smile while I listen to their music and I am happy that I now have Ariel Aparicio and All These Brilliant Things to feed that hard edge need in my music listening experiences. May Ariel float his way to the top with the rest of the good quality cream.

Listen now to: I'm the One
