SPILL ALBUM REVIEW: KIM MOBERG – ALL THAT REALLY MATTERS

Kim Moberg

KIM MOBERG
ALL THAT REALLY MATTERS
INDEPENDENT

You don’t essentially need to be an innovator that breaks boundaries to come up with good music that could reach quite a number of listeners. As a solo artist, you do need a hefty dose of musical talent, an excellent voice (and/or instrumental ability), good songwriting skills, and a taste in arrangements and collaborators you use for your recordings.

Born in Alaska and now based in Cape Cod, singer-songwriter Kim Moberg presents all of the above in abundance on her new album All That Really Matters. Sure, there’s nothing overly fancy or drastically new here—yet Moberg has a strong songwriting sense that includes good lyrics too, possesses an excellent singing voice, and she exhibits an impeccable taste in arrangements and production, as well as her choice of collaborators she picked to present her music here.

All that is quite enough for her to come up with 10 almost perfectly tailored singer-songwriter tunes that even those that are not true fans of the genre will easily pick up on. Quite a strong album in every sense of the word.
