Solitary Road

About the Artist
Kyle Vincent began his musical journey as a youth in the tumultuous melting pot of Berkeley, California. A product of the ground-breaking jazz program in the first fully integrated school system in the country, Vincent credits the success of his pop career to his early roots in jazz, folk, and R&B.

After taking up the alto sax at age eight, Vincent eventually turned an ear toward pop music, but many of those early influences continue to creep into his recordings.

Already some of the biggest names in his genre have heralded Vincent's artistry. Barry Manilow calls him, "One of the best singer-songwriters to come along since the heyday of Tin Pan Alley." After recording an album for MCA in the mid 90's, Vincent opened an entire Manilow tour.

"I ask you, how cool is THAT?!" Vincent exclaims. "Mr. Manilow was the ultimate pro and gave me much sage advice. I studied his work ethic and showmanship intensely. I was the support act, but since that album was never released (go figure), I'm not quite sure what I was supporting. I love this biz!"

Four years later, the singer found his mark and released his major label debut "Kyle Vincent" on Hollywood Records, which spawned a Top 20 Hot AC hit "Wake Me Up (When The World's Worth Waking Up For)." The song received over 100,000 airplays and was featured in MTV's "Road Rules," ABC's "All My Children," and the Garry Marshall directed major motion picture, "The Other Sister." Songs from Vincent's 2000 release "Wow & Flutter" have appeared in several MTV series' and are licensed to Spelling Entertainment for use in NBC's "Ed" and other productions.

Kyle Vincent's sixth career album is "Solitary Road," released on his own SongTree Records in January 2003.

LA's "Entertainment Today" calls it, "A collection of moving, introspective tunes that could melt even the iciest of hearts," and adds, "When you combine this with his teen-idol looks, you know that the album will bring dew to the eyes of every female and several males, who spin the disc on her or his player."

A lushly orchestrated singer-songwriter album written over a two year period, "Solitary Road" is "half like Air Supply... half like Queen... and half (!) like a melodic George Harrison...," writes music critic Ben Ohmart.

"'Solitary Road' really is the perfect title for this album," Vincent explains. "It's about sometimes feeling as though you don't belong anywhere; a bit out of touch or out of synch, but finally being OK with that. Choosing to go at it on your own road no matter what anyone says, celebrating the journey and surviving. That not only explains my experiences in the record biz, but in life."

John Borack of Amplifier Magazine wraps it up: "I applaud Vincent's growth and maturity as an artist... I am blown away by 'Solitary Road.' Vincent sings the living hell out of all these tunes...."

buy it.......2006-07-19

Who is this gifted artist? His melodious voice moves you to a higher level of being. The lyrics are simple and touching. I can totally relate to every thought and feeling in the songs. Above all, he truly cares for Mother Earth!! Well Done..

Wonderful in person!.......2003-12-09

My husband and I went to see Kyle Vincent play at a coffee house in Ferndale, Michigan Saturday night. Up until that evening, I had never heard of him... I am at a loss for why this is. He has an amazing voice, has an incredibly personable stage presence, writes brilliant and touching lyrics, and is genuinely friendly.
The only reason I wouldn't give the cd five stars is because the passion for his songs and the energy he possesses is not as evident on the cd. Admittedly, much of an artist's performance is the sharing of energy between the performer and the audience, and capturing that feeling in the studio is difficult, I'm sure.
I would still highly recommend the cd. And if you can see him in person as well, so much the better! He is an incredibly talented performer.

I LOVE THIS CD!!!!!!!!!!.......2003-10-30

Yes I know he's gorgeous. Yes I know he can sing like a bird. Yes I know he's obviously very well educated. But the thing about Vincent's music is how it takes you away from wherever you are, yet makes you think about exactly where you are. He's such a gifted lyricist and even a better producer or arranger. Instead of a good lyric sitting there with some nice music, he strings you along and then WHAP! hits you with a great underlying music moment that makes a good lyric a great lyric with so much deeper meaning. I could go on and on but instead you should just go out and get this CD. I agree with the other reviewers about how it's impossible to understand why Kyle Vincent is not the biggest singer songwriter in the world. He really should be that. I can't wait for his next CD!!!!

A Hidden Gem.......2003-07-01

How can anyone with a voice this great and songs so beautiful remain so amazingly obscure? Kyle Vincent is the perfect example of a true artist who writes, performs, and produces all of his material and is foolishly snubbed by the major music labels. How do total fabricated "stars" get all the attention when a real star is ignored. Do yourself a favor and listen to his oh-so-smooth voice and well-thought out arrangements. The meanings within his songs are so genuine you can feel the emotions that run so deep. Listen to some of his older stuff too. Kyle is the real deal!

One of the best of 2003.......2003-06-28

This album, to be perfectly honest, is probably the best thing I have heard this year. I am a big Kyle Vincent fan and I really feel he went over the top on this one. The songs are first rate and his voice fits each song like a glove. I just wish more people would search this guy out and listen to his music. It is truly magnificent. Buy this if you can as some of his releases have gone out of print.
