Exodus

KP Wolfe

Independent Release, 2016

Reviewed by Cathal Cart

KP Wolfe isn’t approaching this album with a gentle hand or any notions of subtlety. She’s has big plans , a lot to say and is aiming to be heard. Getting things rolling with “Exodus” she proclaims she’s “Not just somebody’s daughter.” And then later, Wolfe is adamant about how “I’m walking away from you.” She relates her own doomed flight of fancy with “Icarus.”

“Puppeteer” is incessant and propulsive. And remember how I said big? You’d be hard pressed to find a bigger vocal performance than the one on “Take Back the Ring.” She’s not wearing her heart onher sleeve. She pulled them suckers off and tattooed the heart for all to see.“Other Woman” is a quieter, more restrained and contemplative number. Here the pain isn’t channeled through anger. Just sorrow and loss.

KP Wolfe has her sights set on more than you or me. And more than fame. She sounds as though she’s reaching for catharsis and finding it.
