HOLLYE DEXTER AND THE BRAVE SOULS
Hollye Dexter and the Brave Souls' music is a heartfelt, soulful alternative to the bland form of canned pop we've all been lulled into accepting on the radio. Stylistically speaking, they have successfully blurred the lines between pop, rock, funk, blues and folk to create their own original sound. Consider the impact that Fleetwood Mac had on the music industry in the 70's. This is the potential that people are talking about with this band. The songs are lyrically driven with strong melodic hooks. Regarding their musicality, L.A.'s Music Connection said, "…there is definitely something to be said for strong songwriting, incredibly talented musicians, and versatile vocals". It's good to know that those are still viable assets in the music business.

This collection of powerful songs covers subjects ranging from questioning faith ("God", "Cheap Wine & Cigarettes") to finding it again ("Love Is Waiting", "So Much Inside"), from anger and loss ("Empty Shell", "Life Goes On") to the love of a child ("The Innocent Place", "Cristen's Lullaby"). |
