An artist who is quickly growing into a favourite of ours here at CLOUT, New York singer, songwriter and producer Sean Kennedy‘s immersive and heartfelt appeal has seen him put together a collection of releases that have the kind of resonating glow that leaves a real impression on listeners, and his new album The Person in the Mirror continues to establish that unique allure.

The tone for the album is instantly set on its opening track ‘Eighteen’, a track that sees Sean reflecting on his life, the passing of time and the experiences that he’s had and had to let go of along the way. There is a really poignant feel to the track throughout, a thoughtful and sombre kind of feeling that encapsules his appeal and the way that he can articulate profound feelings and situations in a way that brings them to life. Despite its melancholy nature, there is a quietly catchy and stirring feeling to the track that feels captivating throughout, further signalling the depth of his craft and appeal and offering the perfect introduction to this collection of tracks.
