Robert Downey Jr. is not one of those guys who got bored with being rich and decided to cut an album just for the fun of it, without the chops to back it up.

His album is very elegant, for the most part, with beautiful piano playing, excellent singing, musically interesting songwriting, and poetic lyrics. He has a definite Bruce Hornsby feel, but with an overall melancholy. This is a wonderful album, seemingly quite personal, original and without cliche, proving that some people really are multi-talented. Recommended tracks - Little Clownz, Kimberly Glide, Details, and Hannah. Read more on Last.fm.
