Listening & Viewing Station

“Charismatic, bright, innovative, courageous and certainly in a class by himself... having rich lustrous and euphonious qualities, incredible range and depth, giving the songs that Shawn chooses a sensual and romantic quality... Shawn’s ability to paint a vocal picture that imparts a story in the listener’s mind rather than just a song – distinctive, yet, reminiscent of other greats.” — Charles Calello (World famous Producer/Arranger - 38 Top Ten Hits)

“Shawn’s voice has such a sincere quality and he sings with such great feeling that I can feel his spirituality in all of his music.” — L.S.

“As someone who was referred to Shawn’s music, I find his singing very pure, warm, and compelling. It makes me feel very loved and special as a person.” — J.M.

“All of the famous stars on the Tribute Album should be honored that Shawn has such enormous love and respect for them and their incredible abilities. He has definitely done justice to the songs, and has also, respectfully, given each one a hint of his unique and original signature.” — P.Y.

“Shawn’s lead guitar playing is a beautiful blend of technique and feeling. He captures in the Santana Tribute all the beauty of Santana’s mysterious, and soulful feelings. Shawn makes the guitar sing, just like he vocalizes songs - a rare and winning combination in a singer.” — K.C.

“There are three kinds of people who will thrill to the sounds of Shawn Rae With Love; those who are looking for love, those who are in love, and yes, even those who have regretfully decided love isn’t worth the trouble. It’s not just Shawn’s breathtaking voice that thrills the heart of the listener, but his choice of songs; ten of them brand new originals, that recreate the most universal yet personal and uplifting spirit of love at its very pinnacle. How refreshing that nowhere in this masterful synthesis of orchestration, emotion, lyric and voice is there ever a hint of cynicism or expression of love’s agony. The entire work is at once uplifting, exciting, and deeply sensual...” — Magazine Review.

“When I played Shawn’s CD at work, his voice was so peaceful and full of love that everyone at work listened to it, and it made everyone happy and mellow...” — M.B.

“Shawn’s talking voice is so soothing, so gentle, and so sincere, and Wow, can he sing!” — A.K.

“Shawn’s arrangement coming from an immigrant’s perspective is fantastic.” — Charles Calello

“Makes us realize, especially with the voice samples of little children reciting the Pledge Of Allegiance, John F. Kennedy’s speech sample of, “Ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country”, and Martin Luther King, Jr.’s speech sample of “I Have A Dream”, that America is truly a melting pot and the beacon of light for the world.

“Shawn, I would like to thank you as an American for your sincerity and respect for the country you live in, which has made all things possible for you. You are truly a thankful immigrant who we welcome, and are proud to have you here.” — J.K.
