Raul's 2007 record "A World Within A World" was a more personal record for Raul and proved to be an exercise in furthering himself as a singer. It really has more of a soul / R&B sound about it for the most part, as well as having some A Cappella, Argentinian and Spanish influences and sounds thrown in there too! Some of the songs and ideas drew on experiences and dreams Raul had as a child and the record in Raul's words is the most reflective of him as an artist / singer as well as being, in terms of themes explored, the most of the moment and what was happening in the world at the time. 　　 　　Raul Midon brings a vibrant sound steeped in classic soul to the pop arena, because pop is where a singer and a song can have the biggest and most widespread impact. When an envelope-pushing song becomes a pop hit, it shifts the entire musical landscape, forcing out the shopworn and clichéd while opening the windows of change to let in fresh ideas. The notion of shifting the landscape is this artist's passion; the wide-ranging skill sets he brings to bear on his mission provide him with the tools to pull it off.
