Paul Geng: Modern Day Pygmalion - Music Review Paul Geng's third release "Modern Day Pygmalion" provides a lush musical experience for the listener and a breath of fresh air for anyone tired of the commercial garbage which dominates the airwaves. The first single and highlight of the album "Two Kinds of People" is a heartfelt song dedicated to a long-lost love interest. The soft tone of Geng's voice blends perfectly with the slow, steady melody of the song. The faster tempo and violin accompaniment during the chorus provides a welcome transition from the generally slower tempo of the song.

Paul Geng's vocal abilities are showcased on the title track "Modern Day Pygmalion". The changing tone of his voice draws the listener into this melodically complex track. Both "On Rainy Days" and "It's Not A Crime" are slower songs which are perfect for relaxing and winding down after a hard day's work. "Old Montauk Highway" traces back to Geng's roots as a young child growing up in Flushing, New York and is an upbeat tune with a high potential for radio success.

Overall, there is not a misstep on "Modern Day Pygmalion". The album transitions smoothly from song to song, and provides for a complete overall effort. Geng's immense talent at songwriting and playing guitar make him one of the most talented up and coming indie artists out there.
