Review
I've gotta tell you, "Songs from the Valley" by John Vincent III is a real treat for the ears! Released in June 2019, this alternative gem clocks in at a neat 30 minutes, perfect for those moments when you need a quick musical escape.
The album's eight tracks, including standouts like "City Rain" and "Lover of Mine," weave together a beautiful tapestry of emotions. John's voice is so raw and honest, it feels like he's singing directly to you. I found myself particularly drawn to "Topanga Canyon" - there's something about the way it captures the essence of a place that just resonates with me.
What really struck me about this album is how it manages to say so much in such a short time. It's like a perfectly distilled shot of musical espresso - rich, intense, and leaves you wanting more. The mellow vibes and introspective lyrics create a dreamy atmosphere that's perfect for those lazy Sunday mornings or late-night contemplation sessions. It's the kind of music that makes you want to curl up with a good book and a cup of tea, letting John's soothing melodies wash over you. - Ava
