Album Review: Kim Desir-The Truth Speaks
In a word: This album is refreshingly honest and transformative.
Though she’s been compared to India Arie, Kim Desir isn’t your typical neo-soul chanteuse unless neo-Soul is referring to spiritual rebirth. And while her most recent release, The Truth Speaks, doesn’t have any of the horns, bells or bass that one would equate with Soul music, the album is very much a message album. Kim’s jazzy, sultry vocals renew your mind with each listening. The piano and light synthwork on The Truth Speaks give Kim room to breathe and get her message out there. For instance, on her track, “Go Back,” there’s no musical distortion to keep you from what she’s singing about—Her spiritual journey, and how she’d be foolish to start it all over again.
Gem tracks:
