Musically and lyrically Todd Warner Moore has a soft eclectic feel that takes you on a journey through genres such as folk, light country, soft pop, and Americana.
The first song I had the pleasure of hearing was “Noodles” and I must say it is perky, upbeat and full of sparkling folk attitude. It’s a cross between classic country, Americana jive, and folk happiness. His ability to blend various genre’s into lyrical and musical genius has allowed him to create his own genre in itself. It is eclectic and totally unique to him. When you hear his work for the first time you will immediately know it’s Todd Warner Moore from that point on. Exceptionally done.
“Starry Sounds” is a timeless collection presented by a folk troubadour storyteller whose words flow like silky honey. It paints a cinematic picture in every lyric of every song. The timeless texture of his songwriting is evergreen. It will live on for generations.
I love “Gift” as it is a just a sample of Todd’s diverse songwriting approach and presents a broad feel of his musical background. All the songs on the album share the same finesse.
What if these wishes
Intentions you send Still remain In some other plane?
What if they’re waiting
To greet you like rain
At that moment
You open again?
Originally from Kansas City, Kansas, Moore’s albums have deep pallets, the brush strokes of each song are filled with hints of Americana, Latin music, 70’s mellow vibes, a hint of a Gipsy nomad and 60’s psychedelic. In the past year alone he has written four albums.
In 2018 he released Lapis Lazuli, followed by “Spark” which we covered in Nashville Music Guide.
He then followed up with “Love and Change” in April of 2019 which we also had the distinct pleasure of presenting to our readers. https://www.nashvillemusicguide.com/kansas-native-and-folk-artist-todd-warner-moore-releases-third-full-length-album-love-change/
“In the Water” begins with a gently acoustic strumming and bass beat. The lyrics are summery and soothing. The harmonies are healing and feel warm and inviting.
“It’s in the water
It’s in the ground Beneath our feet
Past the clouds
Around our hearts
Are the seeds
Of who we are.”
