"All That Glitters"

review by Ed Vincent

A gifted singer songwriter with an exotic feel for music. Some songs composed with a reminiscent feel of John Lennon, Mimi Betinis is charming and ever relevant in his latest album "All That Glitters".

The album is comprised of all new creations by Mimi, with the exception of one from the Beatles, "Across the Universe".

"Blue Sky", written with inspiration from his wife, blends a fresh Caribbean wave of rhythm with a cool tropical breeze of amorous devotion. The album is fun and the songs are vivid with great music. We can't wait for another.....

"Highly recommended" Suburban Journals of Chicago Inc.
