Set for release on December 1, and inspired by his transition into fatherhood, ‘Safe And Sound’ is the debut album from singer-songwriter Kenward. The artist initially wanted to write a song for his son, and found that he instead wrote a concept album, which follows the story of a parent, who is determined to protect their child for the rest of their lives.<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Kenward, the performing name of Tom Kenward, has a gentle vocal style that is reminiscent of Kodaline, and the Lumineers, as well as James Arthur, and Ed Sheeran. It’s easy to imagine Kenward’s sweet voice gently soothing a baby to sleep, as he expresses himself with gentle harmonies, and instrumentals akin to a lullaby.<\/p>\n

Speaking of his music, Kenward said,<\/p>\n

\n

“I keep my tracks quite simple with guitar, sometimes some strings and drums but the music is raw to suit the emotions being conveyed.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Kenward’s simple instrumentals allow him to lift the song and showcase his pure, clear vocals, and convey the absolute joy he feels in parenthood, and his children.<\/p>\n
