Hurt By the World


Talented artist, Stanley Durbin, spins a beautiful Urban/R&B CD, "Hurt By the World." This album consists of well crafted songs that are wonderfully blended with richly textured instrumentation and emotive vocals. As a singer/songwriter, Durbin is extremely passionate about the lyrics is writes as they contain messages of world, hate, love, and peace and one can definitely hear this passion when he sings. The song, "I Just Can't Stop Lovin You," has a magnetic charm as Durbin's vocals groove with a stunning style and grace. "Get Up" and "Work Book" are upbeat songs that have a funky groove and crisp instrumentation. The title track, "Hurt By the World," is infused with rich percussive beats and strong and intense lyrics. Rounding out the CD, the last track, "Reflections," will really tug at your heartstrings with Durbin's words of wisdom. If you like Lionel Ritchie then you will want to hear the exquisite songs on the superb album, "Hurt By the World."
