David Redd’s new album, “Love Is Everything & It Will Not Save You” is a beautiful mix of emotion, sound and honest storytelling. With 11 tracks full of soul and personality, this record feels like a journey through love and life’s harder moments, and it’s one worth taking.
The album opens strong with “The End” a powerful track that sets the tone with rich instruments and thoughtful lyrics. David’s voice here is full of feeling and confidence, showing off both his vocal strength and his ability to pull you into a story. It’s a bold start and it only gets better.
“Side of the Hell” slows things down with soft vocals and simple, clean production. The calm and minimal sound lets his voice and the song’s emotion shine through. It’s one of those tracks that sticks with you. Songs like “Time & Time Again” and “Ash & Smoke” show his strong songwriting and creative use of instruments. The melodies are smooth and the feelings feel real. You can tell this music wasn’t rushed. It’s detailed and honest.
The album continues to shine with its other tracks, each offering something unique and keeping the flow strong from start to finish. The final two songs “Someday” and “Did You Think It’d Be Easy”, close the album in the best way. These tracks feel like the perfect ending to a deep and personal story. The sounds are catchy, the lyrics hit hard and you’re left thinking about the whole journey long after it’s over.
What makes this album really stand out is how it blends different styles. There’s a little bit of everything: folk, soul, rock, and even hints of jazz and dance. But somehow, it all fits together. David and producer Justin Glasco found the perfect balance between classic and new, between live band feel and experimental production.
I love this new release, it’s a polished and well-produced album from an artist with a truly special voice. Whether you’re into singer-songwriter music or just looking for something fresh and heartfelt, this album is a great discovery. David Redd might be new to some of us, but with a project like this, he won’t stay unknown for long.
