McCormack has cemented his place in pop music as well as gay music cultural history with the affecting balladry and easy funk-tinged rock delivered on Missing. It makes sense now that only a performer with a Christian music pedigree and Elton John addiction could fuse his spirituality, pop musical genius, and sexual identity into a masterpiece of introspection and reasoned distance. When people shake their heads along with this music, it's in time to the beat, but also because they are recognizing parts of themselves in the characters.
