Release Notes:

2005 new studio release! Long time soft-pop favorite
here at Not Lame, Kyle Vincent bring his new one to
the fore. There is no one who does the sound of
singer/songwriter 70`s inspired songcraft better
than Vincent. Taking inspirations from Elton John,
late 60`s/early 70`s Bee Gees, Raspberries/Eric
Carmen and (don`t panic) Barry Manilow, Vincent has
left all vestiges of his classic hard pop band from
the mid 80`s behind. But it`s no loss for fans of
great songcraft on the soft side of performance.
Always warmly appealing with refined sense of adult
contemporary bleeding into power pop territory that
is always inviting and familiar. Vincent boldly
plays it the way he feels it and the feeling is
sincere love of richly embellished arrangements and
intimacy with his lyrical subject matter is of
foremost concern. Kyle describes it as Jim Croce
eating Bread with Gilbert O`Sullivan! "4 stars... In
the `90s, singer-songwriter Kyle Vincent left behind
his pop-rock band Candy and moved from being an
opening act for Barry Manilow to scoring a Top 20
hit in 1997 with "Wake Me Up (When the World`s Worth
Waking Up For)." Since then, his career hasn`t had
the pop chart visibility his talent should support.
While the radio hits have been lacking, he`s
released a couple of seductively warm collections of
material on his own label, the latest being "Don`t
You Know," which may be his strongest album yet. For
fans of 1970s radio pop, Vincent is the second
coming. Vocally, he has the rich, evocative sound
that helped the Cassidy brothers Shaun and David as
`70s pop idols. And his songwriting references the
sweetest ballads of the `70s and `80s, garnering
comparisons to Air Supply, John Denver, The
Carpenters, and Manilow. With rich, layered
harmonies, just the right touch of strings and lots
of strumming guitars, "Don`t You Know " is an album
lost in time. A perfect Valentine`s listen, "Don`t
You Know" includes a gorgeous, heartstring-pulling
hymn to a grandmother in "One Last Ride on the
Merry-Go-Round," (if you can listen without a lump
in your throat, you also are probably boycotting
Valentine`s Day!)"-StarnewsPapers.com. "Power-pop
singer/songwriter Kyle Vincent was born and raised
in Berkeley, California, growing up on a steady diet
of `70s-era radio faves like Elton John, the Bee
Gees, the Raspberries and Seals & Crofts."-AMG.
Extremely Highly Recommended for fans of the sunny
`n soft side of pop!
