Kim Taylor’s exceptional CD, reminiscent of Norah Jones, contains remarkable lyrics and soulful melodies-capped off by her extraordinary voice. Our staff members were unanimous in their high marks for So Black So Bright.

“Kim's voice stands out above everything else. It's the kind that slithers and wraps around each syllable. There are elements of other voices entwined with hers: the elegant grace of Emmylou Harris, the fluid sensuality of Rickie Lee Jones… Kim was born to sing. A string of 's' words stream into the consciousness: slick, sweet, smoky, silky, soaring. …The shimmering keyboards, ringing guitars … and overall sound give it a seductive, sensuous dark beauty. Professional and produced to perfection… The tune that could (and should) put Kim on the radio is "Wrecked." …This woman's got to be one of the Midwest's best-kept secrets…” Les Reynolds, Indie-music.com.

"Ms. Taylor's distinctive vocals combine … understated Billie Holiday heartbreak with Natalie Merchant's free-spirited earth-mother pop. . . an elegantly assured collection that stands among the year's best." Larry Nager, The Cincinnati Enquirer

"If you think the world already has enough singer-songwriters, keep the jury out until you have a chance to hear Kim Taylor. With her fresh voice and an armload of firstborn songs, she's going about the business of reminding us all why we loved music in the first place." -Linford Detweiler and Karin Bergquist of Over the Rhine
