Free and easy. Rufus never shows off what a great gift he was given. No, he doesn’t need to, because his talent just appears even when he tries to hide it... His songs are opened up for everyone, and Rufus never refuses to let someone in his world. His words and melodies are not so tight, so listeners can fill up rooms between notes as they like. And his voice. Deep. Mellow. Gentle. Handsome. His singing is free of mannerisms. It is the voice made in heaven.

Well, Rufus is a matured man. So he knows that there are things we have to follow and that we can’t always do justice. Still, nothing is certain but change. If we have to live within limits, why don’t we just extend the limits to get better? Perhaps, his family and friends who always believe in Rufus has been helped him to extend his limits. He dedicates “Release the Stars” to “his mother who still whispers in his ear that he’s great” and sends “special thanks to all his family and friends”. That tells us everything. Rufus knows how to be loved and how to love. This album is made of love. That’s why his melodies are so free and easy. That’s why his voice is so deep and warm. And that’s why his songs sound so affirmative. Rufus is confident and relaxed. He believes in life.

Rufus’s “Release the Stars” make us think that “everything will be fine at the end of the day”. This is the classic. This is worth for five-stars. You’d better add “Release the stars” to your must-buy list.
