With a stirring style that tackles bold dynamics (lyrically, vocally and instrumentally)…And he does experiment, mixing subtlety with fire. The result is a smart, vulnerable, sexy ride. When he sings, he waits thirstily. Then he meanders, letting loose. Carefully, patiently. After the Fall, English’s solo sevensong CD, was recorded at AjumpsBshoots Productions in two marathon sessions. English’s style is both sultry and passionate. At times, it bleeds, exposing insides like Irish gutspiller Damien Rice, clinging to clever guitar arrangements. Although put together solo and without many tricks, there is more to these recordings than the “one man and his guitar” scenario. The vocals hold an honest, brooding feel that creeps out with a sensitive, mature strength. There’s pain here, good pain, an unpredictable, pensive journey through someone’s veins. It holds that rare, real, nave feel, maintaining the bare emotion present in strong early recordings.

Bio
After having spent a number of years playing locally, Kyle English independently released the Indian Summer EP and Innovitory Live EP. These releases and the subsequent videos offered a number of other professional opportunities, including a continual working relationship with the L.A. based management company, Regime Entertainment. The song "Sophia" and the new single "Don't Fade Away" are receiving consistent airplay on ClassX Radio (88.9 Cincinnati and online at classxradio.com), while "Four White Horses" and "Turning Slowly" are currently being played on various shows on WNKU (89.7 FM Cincinnati). He also performed a live, solo acoustic set on WNKU's Studio 89. A featured review in NKY Live Magazine, calls his album, "fresh...with a red hot melody". Other songs on the album gain acclaim for their "sophisticated lyric base" and "folk guitar flare". Kyle is releasing a full length album in 2015 which includes the single, "Don't Fade Away". This album continues to expand on the style that fans are familiar with, yet reflects a growth in both writing and production.
