Emerging from California, TJ Doyle is a nostalgic songster, a lonely hero here to scramble our cultural references with music from another era, providing a much-needed break from the chaos and uniformity of our contemporary times. We are ready for it: boasting a strong Americana aesthetic, the Altadena resident is known for his poignant, intense yet relatable style, exploring everything around Folk, Country and poignant Pop. The results are wonderful, showcasing the work of a nuanced and inspired lyricism, always focused on authenticity and artistic truth.
‘Meant To Be Together’ is Doyle’s latest effort, a hypnotising and solemn sonic journey into western-style guitars, tame drums and acoustic tones, all in the service of TJ’s soothing and evocative vocals, never overpowering the instrumental, instead working with it in complete harmony. Quite a wide vocal range, we should note. Props to him!
The Californian talent seems to be set on a rising path, and the industry sure is taking note. Having racked up songwriting awards and countless radio plays in the near past, the project couldn’t be more flourishing. Of course, one must also consider TJ Doyle’s introspective lyricism, encompassing the magnitude of our universe: from the care of our planet to the fragile relationship between humans. Everything counts in elevating the American musician’s eclectic artistry.
