Billboard Review
Unlike their female counterparts, male vocal club records are not a dime a dozen. They come down the pike all too infrequently. So, when one as potent as "It's the Way" appears, we cannot help but pay our respects. In its original version, "It's the Way" is a beautiful ballad that recalls the early sounds of Savage Garden—from its acoustic-laced foundation to the yearning vocals of Sweden's Bryan Todd. It's a dreamy pop song that, with the right exposure, could ascend The Billboard Hot 100 and AC charts. Mix-show and commercial club DJs, though, are championing the trance-hued mixes provided by Steve "Mr. Mig" Migliore. Under his steady hand, "It's the Way" ably holds its own alongside current club hits by George Michael, Motorcycle, Plummet and Mynt Featuring Kim Sozzi. With Todd, Mr. Mig has perhaps found the perfect muse. Might a collaborative album be in the works? Time will tell.—MP
