Aliens & Rainbows debut album Ferras

 While most aspiring singer-songwriters have lately taken the somber, NPR route to fame, Ferras Alqaisi fearlessly bolted in the opposite direction, hooking up with the team behind Avril Lavigne’s maiden hits.
Produced and mostly cowritten by hitmaking machine the Matrix, Ferras’s debut initially parades impressive musical costuming patterned from old Elton John, Queen and David Bowie LPs. A Jordanian-American raised in small-town Illinois, Alqaisi pulls off this opening volley of rainbow-hued outsider pop with insider knowledge. When he tries on less padded, more streamlined current styles—the Idol-approved schmaltz of "Hollywood's Not America"—the melodramatic vocal filigree and florid lyrics that suit his attention-grabbing bombast seem shrill. And when he strips down to piano balladry on the melisma-crazed closer, "Take My Lips," his emotionally naked display makes a good argument for the Matrix's layered ready-mades.
