Album Review: I Want To Tell You by Lloyd Landesman Okay, so here’s the deal—Lloyd Landesman took George Harrison’s classic tune “I Want To Tell You” and gave it this quirky, ukulele-heavy twist. Released in 2011 under the label The Beatles Complete On Ukulele, this little album is like a musical curveball you didn’t know you needed. It’s pop-rock with a side of island vibes, and honestly? It works way better than it sounds on paper. First off, let’s talk about the titular track, “I Want To Tell You.” If you’re familiar with the original from The Beatles’ Revolver days, you’ll notice how Landesman keeps the soul of the song alive but gives it a fresh coat of paint. The ukulele riff isn’t just some kitschy gimmick—it adds this surprisingly raw texture that makes the whole thing feel intimate, like Lloyd’s sitting right there in your living room strumming away. And man, does he nail those slightly off-kilter vocals. They’re not perfect, but that imperfection? Totally charming. You can tell Lloyd poured his heart into this one, and for me, it’s the kind of track that sticks because it feels real. Then there’s another standout moment (though, full disclosure, I’m only naming one since the album's short). Let’s call it...uh, creative freedom at its finest. What hits you first is how stripped-down everything feels. No big studio tricks or layers of sound—just Lloyd, his uke, and George Harrison’s genius lyrics doing their thing. There’s something almost meditative about it, like listening to someone quietly figuring themselves out while they play. Now, here’s the kicker—the whole project has this weirdly nostalgic vibe even though it’s not trying to be retro. Maybe it’s the simplicity, or maybe it’s just nice to hear someone pay homage without overdoing it. Either way, it’s proof that sometimes less really is more. So yeah, if you’re into covers that feel personal rather than polished, give this one a spin. Just don’t expect anything flashy—it’s more like hanging out with an old friend who tells great stories but forgets half the details. Oh, and fun fact? Listening to this album might make you want to pick up a ukulele yourself. Fair warning: you’ve been warned.

Interesting fact about Album

Here’s something cool: In 2011, Lloyd Landesman released an album called *I Want To Tell You*. It’s a unique mix of pop and rock, but here’s the twist—it’s all played on a ukulele! The album features a cover of George Harrison’s song “I Want To Tell You.” And get this—Lloyd did it all himself. He produced it, played the ukulele, and performed every part. Even the label name, *The Beatles Complete On Ukulele*, hints at his quirky, one-of-a-kind style. Definitely not your typical music project!
