Rising South Carolina artist Kelvin Armstrong released his EP In Due Time<\/em> last month. After listening to the album it\u2019s hard to believe that the talented singer who is also a songwriter and guitarist has only been singing professionally 2 years. \u00a0The album is a perfect blend of acoustic, R&B, soul, blues and a tad of country. \u00a0If we had to describe Armstrong\u2019s voice it would be a combination of Anthony Hamilton, John Mayer, Lyfe Jennings and D’angelo. The title of the EP speaks for itself in that the album was released during a time when music seems to lack substance.\u00a0 In Due Time<\/em> delivers the type of feel good music that is missing from the music industry today. \u00a0While most artists seem to be going main-stream, Armstrong decided to take listeners on an alternate route. Each song on the EP tells its own unique story. You can tell each song poured from his soul and you can feel his raw emotion in each lyric. It is definitely an album you can listen to the entire way through.<\/p>\n

The EP opens with Peaches & Cream<\/em>.The song is far from what you might imagine when you first hear the title. It\u2019s a song about life and the difficulties you might face on this journey that we all must take. It also speaks about fighting for what you believe in.<\/p>\n

Falling <\/em>was one of the most touching and personal songs on the album. Kelvin expressed that the song was about a dark place in his life where he found himself battling with depression. People underestimate the severity of depression and the toll it can take on a person\u2019s life. Kelvin was able to get through those difficult times and transfer his pain into music.<\/p>\n

Cold Woman is a <\/em>song about playing the fool in a relationship. It\u2019s something that happens to the best of us. When opening your heart to someone you\u2019re taking a gamble and sometimes you get burned.<\/p>\n

Many people have a belief in God and have faith that no matter what obstacles they encounter in life they feel like God is there guiding them through the ups and downs. The song\u00a0Stones Throw<\/em> questions God\u2019s presence during the difficult times in life.<\/p>\n

The album concludes with Selfish,\u00a0<\/em>a song that speaks on being deeply in love. Many of us find ourselves in relationships that are destructive but the love for that person is so strong that we hold on even though it\u2019s not a healthy relationship.\u00a0 A line from the song states: \u201cI don\u2019t want to be by myself even though loving you is bad for my health.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

We had the pleasure of attending Kelvin\u2019s album release party for \u201cIn Due Time\u201d this past Sunday at Wet Willie\u2019s in Columbia, South Carolina. The event was held on the second floor of the venue and there wasn\u2019t an empty seat in the room. Kelvin took to the stage with his guitar in the dimly lit room filled with his friends, family, fans, and music lovers anxiously waiting to hear the vocals of the rising star. Kelvin shared the stage with a few special guests which included his sister Kyshona Armstrong, another talented musician. He put on quite a show singing songs from his EP as well as a few extra songs in the mix. Listening to him live made you appreciate his music even more. His future is definitely bright and we wish him much success.<\/p>\n
