The long awaited, and highly anticipated, new CD by Kip Winger, From the Moon to the Sun, is more than any listener could ever imagine. It’s not a CD you can simply listen to a couple of times…..the artistry this album offers, challenges your mind, spirit and soul and piques your senses to really delve in and explore the depths of what this record has to offer. From hard driving rock, heartfelt ballads, inspiring pop to a beautiful classical composition….this album truly has it all. Each song is laced with uninhibited experimentation and from the first track, you quickly find yourself at one with the music. Addiction at its finest…..
This album takes you on an emotional journey that will rock your world, soothe your soul, shatter your heart, mend your spirit, invoke angst and provoke your passions, yet, when the journey ends, you have an overwhelming sense that you have been gently carried to paradise and back….it sates your senses beyond your wildest imagination. It’s THAT heavy and, it’s a welcome invitation, to not only hear a stellar work of art, but to experience it as well. That is what you will find with this album. It definitely is a journey “From the Moon to the Sun” as the title suggests.
Kip Winger’s growth as an artist over the years is quite evident…..just when you think you've heard the best from him, he finds a way to, yet again, enslave your senses, blow your mind and leave you speechless….only this time, it’s more intense. This album has so much to offer, not only musically, but lyrically too which is defined by the depth, creativity and passion throughout each song. Not to mention the diversity. It's so powerful, in so many ways....it's indescribable. There is so much to absorb, delve into and feel.
Kip Winger is no ordinary artist. Mostly known for the rock genre, this album proves there is so much more to him than simply being a musician trapped by the restraints of his past…he’s an artist who has stayed true to himself, setting no limits, and no boundaries, to his experimentation and growth in music. He has stepped beyond the realm of the genre he’s known for and branched out to reach new heights in music…..A commendable feat which commands respect and admiration (regardless of a listener‘s preference of music). You won’t find many artists who would do this….or could do this, but Kip Winger can….and has.
I have often said that if anyone was born to create music, it is him…..his music stands the test of time and his longevity is here to stay. He has shed his restraints, gone beyond the limits, made his mark, and his path is clearly etched in music . He is seemingly on a never-ending journey to experiment, learn and grow and his fans, no doubt, will be along for the ride, supporting his endeavors and celebrating the magic of his music for a long time to come.
Kip Winger….an Artist who dares to be different……
