“...Listening to Kevin Wood's Finding Me is a little like enjoying a dis-allowed splurge. I almost feel guilty how much I enjoy it. I guess I've become quite comfortable in my left-of-pop musical tastes. The fact that Wood can sweep me off my pridefully-unconventional feet into the swirls and swells of his melodies is not less than remarkable.
As I write this, "The Moon Says Something" is playing, whose chorus melody I find so beautiful, it hurts.
Close to this is another that, just reading the lyric, one would bet to be a ballad. But upon listening, what a surprise to find "Two Years of Lonely" is an uptempo - driving and sad and joyous and ...ya, See what I mean?! I just can't help but GO There with him...on several of the songs anyway...
...Kevin Wood is one hell of a songwriter. And I haven't even gotten to the Voice yet, yes, with a capital V, please. Rich, full, able...if Michaelangelo painted voices, he'd love this one....
...It's rare to find Contry/Pop music that is as skillfully crafted as the collection of songs on Kevin Wood's "Finding Me." Clearly a very well educated and trained musician, Kevin exploits and explores the depths of songwriting technique with remarkable finesse. An extaordinary vocal talent who possesses the power and control of some of contemporary R&B's best, Kevin never once makes the all too common mistake of oversinging or over "running." While displaying vocal acrobatics, Kevin always manages to keep our focus on each song's most precious core - the melody. The chorus hook on "The Moon Says Something," is one of the most beautiful melodic lines I've heard this year, that creates a perfect rub with the changes underneath it (tension 9 over the 1 chord). We hear tension 9 within the changes of pop music all the time - but to put it in the melody as the primary focal part of the hook, is truly brave within this genre. And Kevin is brave, both musically and lyrically. He speaks openly in "Stand Firm," about the struggles against the Bible belt, growing up as a gay man, and he bears a heart-wrenching regret, sadness, and truth in "2 Years of Lonely" that almost made me cry...
