Hailing from Chapel Hill in North Carolina, singer-songwriter Kevin Goodwin has set his musical journey against the backdrop of his love for writing and performing. His early years were defined by his creative passion, spending countless hours crafting songs and gracing stages around his hometown.
Embracing the spirit of 2000s pop rock, Goodwin draws inspiration from the likes of The Fray, John Mayer, and Counting Crows, stitching these influences into his unique sonic output. In 2019, Kevin Goodwin made an impactful debut with his EP, This Is How It Starts. The record resonated with listeners, clocking over 250,000 streams on Spotify, a promising beginning for the emerging artist.
Building on this success, he followed up with the sophomore EP, Heart of the City, in 2021. This year, he’s added another chapter to his discography with the release of his third EP, One Hell of a Night, and now, he unveils his latest creation, the poignant single “Forevermore.”
Opened by a warm piano arrangement, as the notes gently tumble, Kevin’s delicate vocals enter to spin blissful melodies carrying heartwarming lyricism. As the soft texture of strings joins, he crafts an inviting sound that completely wraps you in a moving indie pop sound.
As the song progresses, the constantly shifting tapestry sees the atmospheric shots of electronic percussive touches before airy guitar notes hover alongside Kevin’s voice. The laid back shuffle of acoustic drums enters to usher in an emphatic crescendo of lightly gritty guitar chords, punching drums and bright piano work as Kevin’s voice soars above.
“Forevermore” distils the complexities of love and the enduring nature of longing, recounting a significant conversation with a former love that has lingered in the artist’s heart for years. The track becomes a poignant exploration of the intricacies of love, dating and the lasting emotions that persist long after the connection has seemingly been severed. With his new single, Kevin Goodwin shares his meaningful songwriting in a dazzling sound and we can’t wait to see what he’s got lined up for the future.
