Sometimes when writing a song you don’t know what it’s about until it tells you. Often I come away & think, ‘Wow, that was actually what was being said?’.
Songwriter
An incredibly talented songwriter donating EP proceeds this October to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital to help others suffering with childhood cancer.
What I experienced in early life & up until now does put things in perspective. I use these experiences to write the most passionate & powerful music I can.
The creative progression throughout is fantastic, the brightness of the music contrasts cleverly with the mellow & somewhat melancholy vocal performance.
Sometimes a good song is all that’s needed; nothing fancy or over the top to enhance the ideas – just the song, and a performance that means something.
The soulful smoothness of any seductive R&B classic. Connects on a deep & intimate level, as well providing those essential good vibes we rely on music for.
The sound is big, leaning partly towards the distorted world of indie rock, partly towards a more electronic, even reggae influenced edge.
Every element assists the music & emotion as they evolve. The voice rises in passion, the instrumentation intensifies, the lyrics become upfront & direct.
The simplicity works really well, the production has a retro crackle about it that assists in building those classic vibes & the melody hits with impact.
The strength of this uniting of elements drives the song. The hook lingers in your mind long after listening & there’s a definite sense of character.
Fusing a thick & distorted musical backdrop with an exotic, delicately powerful leading vocal melody, the song surrounds you in atmospheric ambiance.
The artist’s voice is the thing that will grab you, partly the tone & performance style, partly the unexpected lyricism & unique story telling.
