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!
