Nilsson - Sandman

Review by Oğulcan SENYÜCEL

Sandman is a masterpiece of an album by Nilsson that showcases the singer's incredible range and versatility. The album, released in 1976, features a mix of original compositions and covers, all performed with Nilsson's trademark style and charm.

From the opening track, "I'll Take a Tango," Nilsson's voice is rich and full of emotion. The song is a perfect showcase for his vocal range, with soaring highs and deep, resonant lows. The album's title track, "Sandman," is a hauntingly beautiful ballad that showcases Nilsson's ability to convey complex emotions through his music.

Other standout tracks include "Something True," a rollicking, upbeat tune that features Nilsson's trademark humor and wit, and "Pretty Soon There'll Be Nothing Left for Everybody," a poignant reflection on the state of the world that feels just as relevant today as it did when the album was first released.
