GODS OF MUSIC REVIEW (8.6 out of 10)
"This song has a groove that you won't soon forget.
Probably the first thing I should mention is that I really dig Spinous's voice. He crosses genres with this deeply powerful voice, much reminiscent of Isaac Hayes. It also blends so well with his wonderful music, which he obviously put a lot of his time into. The groove deep in the music will stick to you, and will push you into your day humming something cool. It all just seems to work well together: like this song was just meant to be heard.
The lyrics are simply written, but they say everything they need to.
Simply put, Spinous has a gift, a gift that allows him to put pen to paper and write what people feel. Then he puts it all to music that will give the listener a chance to feel free! It's like non-judgmental therapy for the soul . . . right on, SPINOUS ! Everyone should give "Searching For You" a listen!

Spinous and his 2nd release CD, “Empathy,” offer some appetizing songs which focus on the musical styles of Pop, Funk, Electronica, and R&B. His creativity really shines as these songs are new and refreshing and the production is first rate. The infectious opener, “You Make Me Happy,” exhibits a vibrant and energetic tempo with rich sound textures that complement the distinctive vocals. The title track, “Empathy,” is infused with a bouncy beat and lyrics which are melodic and interesting. “Let’s Rock This Party,” is Electronica at its best with a dynamic layering of synth sounds and electronic beats. If you like a well blended mix of music, then you will surely enjoy the well crafted songs on the terrific album, “Empathy.”

 RadioIndy is pleased to present Spinous with a GrIndie Award for the CD "Searching For You"
“Searching For You” is the impressive debut from UK multi-instrumentalist and singer/songwriter Spinous. This album is filled with ten catchy and groovy pop songs that draw from rock, funk, and r&b. With the exception of some of the drum and bass work, Spinous composed and performed all of the arrangements on this release, showing his skill both in layering and arranging. Spinous gives a strong vocal performance that sounds somewhere between Sting, Seal, and Prince. The songs are catchy and melodic, with great toe-tapping beats and meaningful, memorable lyrics. Spinous also self-produced “Searching For You,” and it sounds great, his full vision fulfilled. “All I Need Is Time” begins with a nice drumbeat and keyboard work, then builds to incorporate a groovy guitar line and moves into great lyrical verse. “All The Things” is an incredibly poppy song with an energetic drumbeat, refined keyboard progressions and solos, more great lyrics, and a catchy chorus. Overall, “Searching For You” is a great debut from Spinous, with great groovy tracks that’ll simultaneously make you want to move and sing along. Fans of groovy pop with rock, r&b, and funk influences should check Spinous out. -Chris & the RadioIndy.com Reviewer Team |
