http://www.kcactive.com/aande/soundbites/index.htm Elyse Bruce Countdown to Midnight www.midnightinchicago.com www.artworkbytdt.com Review by Brandon Whitehead Singer/songwriter Elyse Bruce has a long pedigree in music having studied classical piano in Paris and jazz in Canada with numerous musicians. That’s not even mentioning her impressive amount of onstage and studio experience. But in her album Countdown to Midnight, Bruce seeks more than just producing an album of both original and lite blues and pop: 20 percent of every sale goes to the Midnight in Chicago project, which seeks to raise awareness of autism, Asperger Syndrome, and Autistic Spectrum Disorders. The album’s sales also help fund their educational pod casts (available free at the first site listed above), which Bruce hosts with MIC artist Thomas D. Taylor and the help of her own son, Lewis, who has Asperger Syndrome. With the twelve, simple pop, Elton John-ish arrangements, featuring Gerry Dere on keyboards and Doug Jensen on guitar for “Autoroute,” Bruce has produced a mature and cultured album most fans of classic pop will love. If there’s any complaint here, it’s all the business ads inside the liner notes. But since they’re also supporting a good cause, it seems a little petty to quibble about after all. In an age when all the music industry can offer is the next Britney train wreck for us to watch, it’s nice to see someone actually trying to do something positive with their talent, while having fun at the same time. Countdown to Midnight proves that it can be done, no matter what time it is. © 2008 Discovery Publications, Inc., 1501 Burlington, Ste. 207, North Kansas City, MO 64116 (816) 474-1516; toll free (800) 899-9730; fax (816) 474-1427
