Tony de Silva - Is It True?
Country
Calgary, Canada
Overall Impression: Canadian recording artist Tony de Silva has an instant timeless love song on his hands, with "Is it True?" A beautiful romantic ballad delivered in the style of iconic crooners such as Elvis Presley and Julio Iglesias, this song has the potential for broad appeal. Gorgeous production on this track.
Strongest Point(s): This song really does have a timeless quality to it. This will never go out of fashion. Great melody, great heartfelt lyrics, and the production on the track is near perfection. I love the intro figure, the little guitar lick and response from the background vocals. i like how its used a couple more times, to introduce each new verse. "I surrender to your tender charms" is a really great lyric. Nice ending, too.
