This CD literally grabs your attention right from the very first note with Part Of My Heart and won’t let go until the very last note of the very last song What We Believe In, which is another great track by the way.
Jim Brickman possesses the characteristic of being able to win you over with him talent alone. The kind of artist I really enjoy listening to.
Overall Destiny is an outstanding release. Quite possibly Jim Brickman's best to date. Really spectacular from beginning to end. If you're even mildly into Jazz music you'll enjoy this album.
While the entire album is really very good some of my favorites are track 8 - Love Of My Life, track 10 - By Chance, and track 14 - What We Believe In
My Bonus Pick, and the one that got Sore [...as in "Stuck On REpeat"] is track 1 - Part Of My Heart. Wow!
