The Truth

The Truth
Winging it
Kennesaw, Ga.

Soulful soup of urban Atlanta sounds, jazzed up to a "t"

This quintet from the little college town of Kennesaw, Ga. is making quite a splash with
their compelling urban feel and energetic, happy-go-lucky, soulful grooves. Destined to spread their musical wings and fly, the Truth has a likeable spontaneity all their own. With brewing fun and wit,
Winging It is Georgia’s current premiere release assured of capturing attention.

With great gusto, its sonorous beats and haunting vocals mesmerize the senses, sweeping away all worries under this world’s chaotic feet with a golden broom.

A mixture of jazz-like, rosy jam rhythms, complete with a tenor vocalist that sings and the other, a deep baritone, rapping on cue, they’re the perfect quintet to brighten listeners moods. Either during long hot summer days, or getting through the ice and hail of a winter snowstorm, this group of troubadours are born to carry a message of peace and love, shelter one’s burdens, with a tempo and lilt that
guides the crowd to a sonic safe haven. .

The Truth doesn’t deprive themselves of expressing honest, heartfelt lyrics through their wit
and clarity. Vulnerable as their music sounds, the young group can be deemed as hopeful romantics, eager to play to their soul’s content until they receive their ticket to stardom’s musical paradise.

This four song EP of the Truth is a perfect document of this group’s young career.
The level of maturity through textures of instrumental color (violin, drums, bass, and guitars) brings out a flair and charm unparalleled in other Georgia bands. It should be well noted that their confidence soars throughout, and it’s magnified in their electric performances live.

The finale “Come Closer” features more of the same: alluring vocals, great ambiance of notes, shimmering percussion, and lilting bass. The baritone and tenor voices of the two frontmen shine through on the recording and amplify further on stage.

The album is dense with intricate work and well-constructed arrangements. Polished to perfection in the production room, The Truth’s ability to skip the beat with accents and off- time signatures makes this group’s music more enjoyable. (self-titled)
