As any fan of Voyages in Destiny can hear, there are a slew of guest singers this go round. With the advent of AI the artist chose the best voices that matched the feel of each piece. While the original vocals are still the artist's with all of his expression, AI offered a way to shape them tonally. You can check out some samples of the artist's voice being transformed here.
Die hard fans such as the RaMBa Squad have protested, but the artist has always been deaf to critics and simply follows what he thinks is best.

"Alright, here we go" are those key words at the end of the Intro track that sums up this album. Finally, Voyages in Destiny has realized its potential! The album starts with a great blues rock track and you're like "Okay, this has a great groove!" But then you get hit in the face with Running with Rats one of the most energetic songs of the whole catalogue that leaves you breathless by the end. From there there is an ebb and flow between high energy songs and calm, well-crafted pieces that keeps you coming back for more!
While on the earlier outings the RaMBa Squad were more lighthearted additions, on this album two of the "Squad" provide nice intermissions interspersed between the four sides of this epic two-disc masterpiece. In addition, one of the Squad members provides harmony vocals on One Day which really pushes that chorus to the next level! Overall I love how the "Squad" are still involved helping make this album concept a reality!
I have covered this artist's career for quite some time, and just have to say "Wow!". The production and complexity of the arrangements are noticeable on tracks like Run Away, and Staring at the Blank Screen. The mixing and mastering is top notch for this "one-man show" and to finally be on Apple Music, Spotify, and YouTube Music really gives the fans what they have been clamouring for: Voyages in Destiny, on demand, whenever and wherever! Just like it was meant to be, The Third Voyage takes us on a journey beyond where we could have imagined!
