Fresh from their surprising win at the Harmony Sweepstakes Bay Area Regional, Filipino group III of a Kind brings us an equally surprising first CD. Deeply spiritual singers Gelo Francisco, Edward Granadosin and Annie Nepomuceno, one of few three-singer a cappella groups we have encountered, did not pull off their win because of flashy costumes and knock-your-socks-off dance moves. They did it with powerful harmonies and eye-opening music, both abundantly present on 'Back To The Drawing Board.' Seven songs: the Hanson's 'MMMBop,' Sting's 'If You Love Somebody (Set Them Free),' Lennon/McCartney's 'We Can Work It Out,' 'Where Is Love,' 'The Prayer,' 'His Eye Is On The Sparrow' and 'Prayer of St. Francis.' The first four songs are a cappella, the last three are accompaniedÐbut beautiful harmonies and soulful singing throughout. Back To The Drawing Board? From their performance in SF and this CD, we think it's more like On To Triumph!
