Kevin Drew: Spirit If… Review
Kevin Drew, more known as the lead singer of one of Canada’s best bands Broken Social Scene, released his album in September called “Spirit If…”. The album received some great reviews though overall it seemed to get positive/lukewarm reviews so I decided to delay getting around to it. I decided I should really give it a look with an extended effort to cover Toronto/Canadian musicians.
As a side note, apparently is dating Feist, one of my favorite female artists so maybe I should learn to play the guitar to improve my sex appeal?
Back to the album, “Spirit If…” is very easy to listen to, being used to Kevin Drew’s soft and soothing voice makes almost every song as excellent tracks on this album. It seems really similar to BSS’s work but slightly less complex and without the great backing vocals. This album is a joy to listen to and I can probably listen to a few times in a row.
Songs I didn’t like were few and far between. Nothing I particularly hated. Only possible weak point I would say is that nothing blows me totally out of the water. I’m giving it a 4.5 out of 5. Great album.
Here are some of my favorite tracks on Spirit If:
Fucked Up Kid by Kevin Drew (I don’t like censorship)
Aging Faces/Losing Places by Kevin Drew
[...] BSS Presents Kevin Drew – Spirit If… Original Rating: 4.5 out of 5. Was this effort a little bit like Broken Social Scene and didn’t really distinguish Kevin [...]
