Hope
The Franco-British singer Kevin Norwood is back with Hope, a new opus that ingeniously blends an acoustic sound and electronics. Kevin Norwood puts his voice and phrasing at the service of his songs.
A voice that takes its time, helped by the warmth of a singular tone. The band sounds like one, joining the breath and the strength of a knowing play that serves a songwriting sublimated by an inspired interpretation. The magic happens!
Fall 2021 marks a turning point for Kevin Norwood with the release of his second album, Hope. The 2022/2023 tour follows on from the national tour that accompanied the release, between November 2021 and the 2022 summer festivals.
