The Message, initially released in 1998, contains nine songs inspired by everything that goes right and wrong with relationships. From the hopeful beginnings of the title cut to the fractured world we live in with "Necessary Loss" to the blue skies we hope for in "Time and Rain", The message is a 360 degree musical journey. Rick Lorenzini's primary musical foundation on the record was the Yamaha acoustic piano. Bringing in long time collaborators and friends, the album has a solid sonic 80s experience that you'll enjoy over and over again. Outstanding musicianship and exceptional engineering create the benchmark of this recording. Rick Lorenzini is a multi-instrumentalists playing keyboards, guitar and vocals on all nine tracks. Opening with the driving cut one, reach into your pocket, pull out the phone, and listen to "The Message."
