What these early naysayers missed, of course, is that in vocalist Rob Thomas, Matchbox Twenty had one of the finest mainstream pop\/rock songwriters in the business. Not only did Thomas rack up a string of hits with the Florida group, but he also co-penned \"Smooth\" from Santana's Grammy-winning 1999 comeback album, SUPERNATURAL.\u003cbr\u003eWith SOMETHING TO BE, his solo debut, Thomas pulls out all the stylistic stops, revealing that Matchbox Twenty's alternative-rock format provided a somewhat limited forum for his considerable talents. \"Lonely No More\" mixes an insistent dance beat with an insanely catchy chorus that sounds straight out of the boy-band textbook. The title track is a sly lyrical dig at poseurs of all stripes, backed by an 1980s electro-funk groove, while the burbling synths and Eastern percussion of \"All That I Am\" recall the world fusion experiments of Peter Gabriel and David Byrne. An ambitious effort by a guy who knows his way around a hit single, SOMETHING TO BE is the sound of an artist breaking out.","brand":"MovieMars","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47344587505951,"sku":"075679343529","price":12.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0679\/7833\/0399\/files\/9e07633a8c815395ff05de137498469d_c220a2e4-446a-4596-bd89-4f854b99d8cc.jpg?v=1777898523","url":"https:\/\/www.moviemars.com\/products\/something-to-be-dualdisc","provider":"MovieMars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
