I bought this CD because I was a fan of Constantine on American Idol, but after playing it a few times in the car my 7 year-old requests it regularly. The first song is particularly catching and several are reminiscent of the classic 80's sound. Listen and enjoy!

What Parents Need to Know
About Constantine
Parents need to know that kids might want this album because its star is an American Idol alum. Happily, there's no need to worry: The grown-up, rockin' sound is backed by some pretty family-safe lyrics. All of the sexuality and edge on this CD is in its soulfully expressive vocals and intense instrumental arrangements.

Constantine
I enjoy this CD very much and like most of the songs. It's a very eclectic CD. Song genres for everyone, pop, rock, a little touch of R&B. It's a very nice mix. My favorites are Everybody Loves, Girl Like You, Fading Into You and Heaven Help the Lonely. Vocals are great! IMHO

Loved It!
Constantine's vocals on this solo CD really shine! His passion for performing is also apparent in his music! I highly recommend this CD if you are tired of listening to music that all sounds alike!
