EP Review: The Road To Find Out - East by Ramin Karimloo

Released on Monday 7th April 2014

Breaking away from stereotypical musical theatre albums whilst remaining respectful of musical theatre standards, West End and Broadway star Ramin Karimloo is releasing four EPs to showcase his new genre of music, Bluegrass. The first EP, 'The Road To Find Out - East' features four very different yet consistent numbers, two of which are original songs.

Karimloo's genre is clearly influenced by country music, but the sound is also very fresh and raw. First of all the performer, who is currently starring as Jean Valjean in Les Miserables on Broadway, takes on 'Oh What A Beautiful Mornin'' from Oklahoma. The song is a far from obvious choice, yet this re-invented arrangement suits Karimloo's voice perfectly. Written by Karimloo and Hadley Fraser, 'Losing' is the first original track on the EP. The song instantly showcases Karimloo's hypnotising vocal talents. The song steadily builds and is very memorable.
