Keaton Simons new album asks “Can you hear me?” The answer is a resounding yes, and we want to hear more! From the moment I popped this album into my CD player, I was amazed by the talent Simons displays. I wondered where on earth he could have been hiding, but I suppose that an unimportant question now that I’ve been graced by his musical magic. Woo!
En route towards a Paolo Nutini/Gavin Degraw-esque sound, Simons differs in ways that prove to be extremely successful for this album. Think a dash of pizzazz, a sprinkle of edge, and a pinch of fresh that make his sound something worth hearing. He succeeds in coercing you to want to listen to what he’s saying; mainly because unlike some artists, he sounds like he has lived. Through his music you, in turn, are experiencing his experiences, and isn’t that what music is all about?
“Without your skin” is a fantastic choice to start the album off with, as in my opinion it gives the right impression of where the tone of the album is headed. Lyrically the album is soulful and sexy, full of lines that would make any girl swoon….and guys green with envy. The sensuality in his lyrics is mirrored by his voice, and the unique and intriguing musical sound acts as a fantastic delivery for what Simons is trying to get across. Without being corny, Simons conveys emotion. And without being overbearing, Simons proves to be a musical force to be reckoned with.
With tracks that span the full range of his musical genre, the album remains consistent yet still exciting. Its edgy, raw, and successfully splendid! Touring with vets such as Tony Delucca, he’s sure to put on an enjoyable show. And if his live performances reflect any of the talent that is evident in this album, he’s sure to be a hit.
