"After Dark Chicago" votes "Written in the Stars" as # 1 CD of the year !!!

"Written in the Stars"/Tom Michael (LML Music) - Proving the old adage that you can't improve on perfection wrong, Tom Michael's follow-up to his 1999 debut album (which took top honors that year) is not only the best album of this year, it's the most beautifully crafted creation these ears have ever heard. Buoyed by the simply extraordinary arrangements of musical director-accompanist-duet partner Beckie Menzie (creations that would have made an exceptional instrumental album on their own), Michael takes the listener on a wondrous journey that rides waves of passion and glides through calming poignancy. Michael is an artist whose voice and spirit has the power to reach deep within and touch the inner-most part of both a lyric and the heart, and in "Written in the Stars" that intimacy is paired with moments of pure exhilaration. This is, quite simply, the best. Period.

"Written in the Stars" is honored by "Show Business Weekly" Magazine

David Hurst of Show Business Weekly names the "Best Male Cabaret CD Release of 2003" and it's a three-way tie: Tom Michael, "Written in the Stars," Tom Andersen, "Who Knows?," Brent Barrett, "The Alan Jay Lerner Album." Hurst writes: "Three entries this year are so terrific, they all share top honors. Broadway's own Brent Barrett thrills us with 'The Alan Jay Lerner Album' (Fynsworth Alley), while cabaret award-winners Tom Andersen asks the question 'Who Knows?' (Other Music) and Tom Michael knows the answer is 'Written in the Stars' (LML Music). Barrett's rich, masculine voice is perfectly complemented by Chris Denny's lush arrangements; Andersen's passionate timbre will melt your heart, and Michael's sweet, boy-next-door appeal will have you hitting replay again and again. Buy all three and settle back for hours of listening pleasure."
