For You
Music and Lyrics: Lauren Robert
Lauren leads on this one, with that unmistakable gutsy honest voice of hers: A mix of blues, rock, and the essence of her very soul as she thanks the man she loves for getting her through a “very dark time”.
There is no doubt as you will hear, that Lauren can wail. That big voice can knock you upside your head, or she can whisper seductively in your ear, words you’ve always ached to hear. Her sound is universal because you can tell she loves to sing and she loves and respects her listeners. There is so much spirit in her voice to be shared.
Supporting her with the grooviest back-ups, harmonies the other two Sensations, Karen and Robert, thrill and chill us with their bodacious tones.
Dolan has helped to produce a sound that is relentless in its driving rhythm. The mix is magic. It is musically complex – yet heart-wrenching in its simplicity. It is the straight skinny. It is clear that the Sensations surely get behind singing out the truth of the love, appreciation, and the joy of saying thank you.
Off-stage, Karen and Robert are just as spirited and vivacious they are in performance.
Dolan, in addition to the other instruments on this single, plays the impeccable guitar solos..bringing to mind…Michael Jackson’s soloists. Dolan feel is exactly the right flavor for Robert’s mix of pop and Gospel.
This new one is definitely SENSATION-AL!
