简介

Kelly’s songs sound simple, and they are – until you start to break them down and piece them back together. Straight-forward pop songs are twisted and turned into tight curves of melodic yet syncopated progressions. She borrows from rock, blues, country, and gospel until the lines between the genres are crossed and crossed again. The results of this fusion are songs that pay homage to specific musical roots while being firmly planted in the “pop” genre. Kelly has a rich, deep, distinct voice. But if you had to describe it in terms of other artists, imagine the smoothness of k.d. lang, the breadth of Annie Lennox, the directness of Rickie Lee Jones, and the fluidness of Sheryl Crow, with a little Adele thrown in for good measure! She uses her rich voice to evoke love, loss, and renewal. Her background - she was born in Mississippi and has traveled the world - provides her with a deep well from which to draw. Her work conveys a feeling of pragmatic optimism - joy of love and the price paid while reaching for happiness can be heard in songs like, "Neon Bible", featuring performances by J. Dash (of "WOP" fame), and Peter Mosely (former bassist of Yellowcard). You can taste the influence of the Deep South. There's a little Stevie Ray Vaughn in, "Everything Here Is Blue" and the foot-tapping, "Life Is Good" puts smiles on faces of all ages. Her skills as a collaborator (with Earl C. Webb) shine on "You Don't Know How Much I Want To Believe", a song that succinctly describes the yearning for connection while still tending to the wounds of lost love. Your ears will thank you for the listening experience. Your heart will connect with a kindred spirit. She's been featured on 97.3 KBCO Studio C Local Edition in Boulder, Colorado. Review by: Senseitional Strong voice, major talent, and great songwriting is the only way to sum up the musical profile of Kelly Triplett. After taking a good listen to Kelly's music, you'll see exactly why she deserves to be on a worldwide tour. "Your Soul" is an ode to the ones we love. It's a beautifully written song that Kelly's voice just fits well on. She ponders what the soul of her lover looks like; and as she puts it, "I wonder what your soul looks like? It must be beautiful." I know I've often times wondered the same thing about my wife (who is awesome by the way). The music behind Kelly's awesome voice struck a chord with me as well because it just fit the subject matter. This is a song that embodies the essence of substance and creativity in songwriting and I wish there were more songs like this being played for the masses. "You Don't Know How Much I Want To Believe" is another great song by Kelly Triplett. On this one, she talks about wanting so badly to believe in someone she's in love with. She delves into how sometimes our hope in others can overshadow their ability to make good on that hope so we don't feel like it was all a waste. Great song; love the piano. Overall, Kelly Triplett's music is well worth taking the time out to listen to and support her. She's giving us true music from a true heart.
