Album Review: Seth MacFarlane - Music Is Better Than Words

Seth MacFarlane has sung on his hit show Family Guy many times, but now is singing as himself on his debut album Music Is Better Than Words. As I've previously stated, this album has a modern day Sinatra vibe. Seth's silky smooth voice with these swing snap-your-fingers songs is different, but enjoyable.

I must admit, while listening to this album I couldn't help but imagine Brian Griffin singing in a top hat and cane - LOL. But all jokes aside, Seth has an intriguing voice in these songs that just make you want to tap your foot to the beat. This lovely mix of show tunes and ballads showcases Seth's great voice and each song tells a theatrical story. MacFarlane also duets with singers Sara Bareilles on "Love Won't Let You Get Away" and Norah Jones on "Two Sleepy People".

Now what's on the pipeline for Seth's music career? I'd love to see a Christmas album next, can you imagine Seth dueting with say, Ingrid Michaelson or Alison Sudol on "Baby It's Cold Outside"? That would be just luscious.
