The music reminds one of Paul Simon and Neil Young playing singer/songwriter tunes. Kevin’s voice is well tuned and rich. You can hear that New York City influence in there—I truly am blown away that there aren’t more adjectives to describe that distinct living-in-the-big-city apartment pop sound.

"Music to chill and reflect to, sheer quality. Manhattan based Delaney crafted this beautiful album in a small apartment using a Sonar equipped computer, cool! The album is a slow melting of soulful murmurings. Delaney's impressive vocals whisper solemnly. 'Dancing to Heaven' is reflective with a bag full of intelligent words: 'The music moved you in all dimensions'.
